The 2bn saved from deleting the Canary Wharf branch and Whitechapel
stop, and locating the portal at Globetown, would pay for a fair chunk
of the Clapham Junction to Dalston Junction tunnel!

Why delete Whitechapel? Seems like a good place for a station to me. Plus,
even if you didn't build that branch, you'd want lo leave yourself the
option of building it some time in the future, and a station at
Whitechapel where you could link the tunnels would be ideal.
