The real solution is to extend the Metropolitan, near to/over/under the
Bakerloo. *Terminate at Oxford Circus for now, later at Embankment,
later a lot further.

Hasn't that already been done with the Jubilee?

Moorgate bufferstops are around half a mile as the raven flies from
those at Cannon Street. Yet another 'Crossrail' idea would be to link
these 2 stations and thereby combine the Met services with the South
Eastern suburban to Greenwich, Dartford Etc. All DC lines, give or
take the power return rail, no pantographs required. Imagine 2 or 2
platforms removed from east side of Cannon street, making way for a
steep descent into tunnel, then snaking right, then left to a new
underground station near and approx parallel with Gracechurch Street/
Bishopsgate at its junction with Cornhill/Leadenhall, perhaps linked
to Bank by walkway then curving left to join at Met bufferstops. Total
length of rail tunnels about 1400m.
