AFIK extending the Bakerloo is fading back into obscurity. I don't

in my view to keep the Bakerloo as is, and extend the East London Line.


That didn't seem to be a problem for the 65 years (1917-1982) that the
Bakerloo ran to Watford Junction. And of course it remains the situation
from Queens Park to Harrow & Wealdstone.


That's true, but we have a more enlightened attitude to disabled
passengers than our predecessors, so it isn't persuasive.
