An interesting possibility partly related to Northern line segregation

Extending the Bakerloo to Camberwell should be a priority - how would
the cost compare to, say, the DLR Woolwich extension? IME Elephant -
Camberwell is the most congested and slowest bus route after Oxford
Street. That's based on sitting in traffic for *hours* on the Walworth
Road, which is too narrow for bus lanes in parts - so trams wouldn't
help.
