"I think it could be ramped up to the little used four-track Blackfriars line south of the Elephant & Castle. From there it could provide useful services along Southern lines."That is a good idea. Two tracks is enough for the national rail service, and you could restore the two intermediate stations between Elephant and Loughborough Jcn, to be served by the Bakerloo, in a part of south London devoid of rail services of any sort at present. "One possible route could run via Herne Hill, Tulse Hill and Streatham" Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, certainly. Personally I'd rather see it go to Croydon, rather than Streatham, if some way of getting there at reasonable cost, without losing well-used national rail lines, can be found. Croydon is an important employment centre in its own right, so you'd develop two-way traffic on the Bakerloo then. |
