Neither of these were ever on the cards for the Victoria line - you're
thinking of the SSL (Circle/Met/District/H&C) stock. The Victoria, like
the other tube lines, is too curvy and height-restricted for
walkthrough and OHLE respectively.

Curious: I remember both these being proposed a few years ago (the
"space train"). The OHLE would have been a rigid rail at 1500V DC or
something like that, to provide extra power to the trains.
