Good stuff.

The way that the tracks parallel each other it is very easy to imagine
the Jubilee taking over NLL services north of Stratford which would give
the line a marvelous loop right acoss the tube map. I think I remember
being told that this wasn't possible because it would mean tube and main
line stock sharing track which is a health and safety no-no. Shame,
it'd have been fun.

That would be nice too. Getting to Stanstead for the earlier (and
usually cheaper) flights is a right pain even living in a relatively
convenient area for Liverpool Street or Tottenham.
