The third was extending the Aldwych branch of the Piccadilly through
to Waterloo. I was aware that this had been considered as it's been
mentioned here before, and on a couple of websites, including CULG.

But what I didn't know is that, according to this book, the necessary
'powers have been granted'. That implies planning got to a rather
advanced stage. So my question : is that really the case, and what
happened that brought things to a halt?

On a related theme , does anyone know how far the running tunnels extend
south
of aldwych? Do they reach the river?

No they don't. They go less than 10 metres past the end of the platform,
which means they must be at least 100metres from the Thames Embankment.
