Was the plan the Bakerloo (later Jubille) to Watford Junction via
Stanmore?

No. The Northern line was going to be extended beyond Edgware, to Brockley
Hill, Elstree, & Bushey Heath.

It was one of several extensions planned in the 1930s, delayed by WW2, and
cancelled afterwards, chiefly because Green Belt legislation meant that the
areas which would have been served would not be intensively developed. Other
examples are the proposed Central Line extension to Denham and the SR
extension from Chessington South to Leatherhead.

However, the London Underground *did* serve Bushey between 1917 and
1982, when the Bakerloo ran to Watford Junction.

Yes, but of course neither of these stations was really in Bushey. The
Bakerloo station was in Oxhey, though renamed in 1974 from Bushey & Oxhey to
just Bushey. The Bushey Heath station on the Northern line extension would
have been at the A41/ A411 junction on the site which became Aldenham bus
depot.
