I don't think reopening Mayfield would improve matters very much as it would only be suitable for terminating local trains and can only be easily accessed (if the track was relayed) from the Stockport line. Another through platform is definitely required to supplement platforms 13 and 14 and I believe that this is under consideration.
I believe the biggest problem is the station throat between Ardwick Junc. and Piccadilly East Junc.where there are far too many conflicting movements. It will be expensive but the only answer is a series of burrowing or flying junctions in this area.
They should have made more use of Victoria station instead of downgrading it.
