Pure rumour says the plan involves the Hayes branch.


It's more than a rumour, as confirmed by Bakerloo line GM Kevin
Bootle to Modern Railways in November 2007 (p87). He said that
"extending the line to Hayes remains a live proposition for the
longer term".


Which is completely meaningless, since 'live proposition' means
everything from 'we're oiling the TBMs now' to 'a work experience
student once had a look at a map and thought it might be doable'. The
only way it could stop being a live proposition would be if a rift
valley opened up in Peckham.


That could make a cut and cover extension more straightforward? :-)
