On a related theme, I rememer reading that the Fleet line tunnels extended
as far as Wellington Street, which is where the Lyceem theatre stands, IE
just west of the Aldwich.

Your post brings up an interesting point: if the Jubilee Line had not
gone to Stratford and instead had continued to pass through Charing
Cross and through Aldywch, where would it have gone?


The same book I referenced actually has a rough map of the planned
Fleet Line. Charing Cross, Aldwych, Ludgate Circus then over towards
the East London Line and down to Lewisham via New Cross and New Cross
Gate. (I'm sure this has been covered many times before, so consult
Google Groups for further info.)
