When are they going to finish the victoria line and take it up as far

the tunnel only has a few yards to go before it meets the tracks?


The original intention was for the Victoria line to come to the
surface, and terminate at Wood Street, giving a cross-platform
interchange to what were then the BR lines. This is one of three
cases where an extension has been shortened by one station from it's
intended destination, the others being Denham and Camberwell. Maybe we
should propose extensions that go one stop beyond where we actually
want them to go.
