The way i heard it, Southern's suburban rail services were so good that LT

Was there not some sort of Truce between LT and the Southern after
various proposals were put foward . Called the Morden Agreement.
Southern dropped objection of Northern Line to Morden providing it
stopped there and LT gave up pre WW1 ideas of getting District trains
to what now seem unlikely destinations over what had become Southern
tracks .Sutton ? Leatherhead?
Have to go digging amongst some books now .
