The overrun tunnels at Charing Cross finish just short of where the Aldwych
Station would have been sited. Originally two trains could be signalled
and stabled in each of these overrun tunnels but now only one train can be
stabled in each siding.

Re the Bakerloo tunnels going as far as Camberwell, this is a myth that has
been doing the rounds for years and years. The two tunnels south of
Elephant and Castle are used as stabling sidings holding one train in each
tunnel. At the end of each tunnel is a dome shape cast iron wall. I
believe that at one time land at street level was purchased at various
locations along the proposed extension for stations, substations and
ventilation shafts but I would be very surprised if London Underground still
owned these locations.

What about the other golden oldie that the Bakerloo Line *was*
secretly built as far as Camberwell Green in the late-40s?

One that *is* true is that the overrun tunnels at Charing Cross
Jubilee were built along the alignment of the Strand to allow for
future Fleet Line extension, plus to allow for the stabling of two
trains each, and reach just short of the Aldwych/Waterloo Bridge
junction.
