Default North London Line update

IIRC the intention, when the Jubilee Line was being constructed in the
1970s, was indeed that it would be extended to Lewisham. It would have
remained north of the River to somewhere around Tower Bridge, then
interchange with the ELL at Surrey Docks (now Surrey Quays) before taking
over the New Cross branch of the ELL and extending to Lewisham.

The proposed stations we

Charing Cross, Aldwych, Ludgate Circus, Cannon Street, Fenchurch Street,
St.Katherine's Dock, Wapping, Rotherhithe, Surrey Docks, New Cross,
Lewisham.

It would have used the ELL tunnels to cross the Thames.
