Default CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?

As an alternative to a Bakerloo extension is it feasible to hope for a
Jubilee line branch from North Greenwich in a south-easterly direction
towards Charlton. Eltham and Sidcup? Alternatively this could be a
completely new line going on northwards to Canary Wharf, Mile End and
Hackney and finishing off at Finsbury Park or Tottenham Hale.


Better yet, do this, then build a curve at Finsbury Park between the
Jubilee and the Piccadilly, then one at Rayner's Lane to get on to the
Metropolitan, then hop back on to the Jubilee at Wembley Park, and bingo -
THE FIGURE-OF-EIGHT LINE!
