It's fascinating to read this, but I haven't the historical and local
knowlege to understand it all. What were these two "deep level loops"? I
notice that the one going Waterloo junction - London Bridge would do
underground what I would like to at roof level: knock out the fronts of
London Bridge station and Waterloo station making them through stations
and
join them by multiple roof-level tracks. It will never happen!

My memories are clouded, but the general idea was to replace the viaducts
and bridges on the south bank by tunnels.

Probably the most that can be expected nowadays is that under the Thameslink
2000 plan the Borough Market viaduct would be duplicated and London Bridge
station would have nine through tracks instead of seven (one with no
platform).
