ISTR reading somewhere that there are already Bakerloo tunnels half
way down Walworth Road as part of the proposed 1950 Camberwell
extension, hence why I suggested Camberwell. Your route does make
more geographic sense, I admit, but maybe runs a bit too close to the
JLE?

You wouldn't, IMO, even need tunnels. You could bring the Bakerloo to the
surface somewhere along Walworth Road and add an extra two tracks to the
existing lines to Lewisham (Lewisham station itself would probably need
major rebuilding though, however you expand it).

I don't even know if it would be needed any further - passenger
capacity
would get pretty tight, and Lewisham would be a good change for a lot
of
passengers; plus it would prevent the Hayes line from losing its
service
to
the City.

Thinking it over, termination at either Peckham or Lewisham might be the
best course.

One could alternatively extend the Bakerloo from Lewisham alongside the SER
main line to Grove Park and then take over the branch to Bromley North...
