I've heard mention of such plans, but no details (at least not for the
Victoria). What exactly has been proposed (seriously or not)?


Nothing is being considered seriously at the moment - I think TfL have a
full plate of projects at the moment and are having difficulty
extracting cash for any one of them, let alone new ones.


Fair enough!

It seems a bit silly, though. London must make up a huge fraction of the
GDP, yet we have two poorest boroughs in the country, and can't get the
money we need to make the city's transport network work. It's not fair! I
say we give Scotland, Wales and the North independence, and spend the tax
money we save on the tube! That's it, i'm forming a political party. VOTE
ANDERSON FOR UNWORKABLE POLICIES! YOU KNOW IT MAKES NO SENSE!

However...


Thanks for the info!
