Whatever gave you that idea? The Silverlink Metro is a mess of
orphaned lines built by countless different companies that have been
munged together to form a very mixed up network. The only line the DC
line was built in conjunction with is in fact the Bakerloo.

That shows you know 6ugger all about it. The DC line is one line
within an electrification scheme of the London and North Western
Railway which involved not only the current DC and North London Lines
but also services to Earls Court, Kew Bridge, Croxley Green and
Rickmansworth. It was a combination of new build and upgrading using
common rolling stock and electrification.
