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

help.

Restoring the stations on the Holborn line at Camberwell and Walworth Road
would, though:

I imagine it'd be rather cheaper than new Bakerloo tunnels, too.
