I don't think a line that misses Central London would be worth all that
expensive tunnelling!

Agreed - this would be a repeat of the exercise in futility that is the
ELL extension, only far worse. Lines really need to give people access to
central London; once they have that, you can think about orbital routes.

Hmm. Surely the ELL extension extension would give people better
access to central london -- they could get on at whatever god-
forsaken wilderness they currently live in, as it would give them
an interchange with the Jubilee, District, etc lines, and thence
they would get to central london more easily. Also, they might
use it to avoid central london because they didn't want to go
via there anyway.
