Default Battersea Northern Line extension now done with a loan?

If your idea had been adopted, the service via Silvertown to South
London
would have been an extension of the current service between Stratford
and Richmond. Upgrading for longer trains would have meant platform
lengthening at all stations. An attractive idea but very expensive.

It would also have got in the way of Crossrail.
