Within all of this discussion, I haven't heard anyone proposing extensions to either Bakerloo or Victoria.If the money could be found, which seems very unlikely, an underground extension to the south would be much more satisfactory for south London than tinkering with the Southern and Thameslink. Direct tube routes that already pass through the busiest areas of central London would attract a great many passengers and would easily justify frequent services. An extension of the Victoria line to the south from Brixton in the direction of Croydon might even be opposed on the grounds that it could make the Victoria line TOO crowded! I don't accept that argument, as the most crowded part of the Victoria line is north of Victoria station. If such an extension were to be built, the Southern suburban lines would lose ridership, so you had better forget about any improvement over the present half-hourly schedules. |
