Modern Railways mentions that the DLR are considering
possible extensions to Farringdon and/or Charing Cross.

The Charing Cross branch could run along the original planned
Fleet/Jubilee line route via City Thameslink and Aldwych,
and take over the abandoned Jubilee line tunnels and
platforms at Charing Cross.


I don't think the present DLR stock will fit in the Jubilee tunnels
from Aldwych to Charing Cross.


Jubilee tunnels from Aldwych to Charing Cross?

Tell me more!


Phase 1 of the Jubilee Line (Baker St to Charing Cross) was constructed
approximately as far as Aldwych. This is so that trains could pull into ChX
at speed with minimal risk of hitting a dead end.
