The original intention was for the Victoria line to come to the

we
should propose extensions that go one stop beyond where we actually
want them to go.


I thought the Camberwell one was back on?
Besides, Camberwell wasn't the final destination, it was meant to go
to Lewisham.


Not in 1949 when trains were actually ordered for the extension, surely?

Yes, it was Walworth - Camberwell - Peckham - Forest Hill -
Catford - Bromley
Or emerge somewhere around Peckham and take over the British Rail line
to Lewisham and beyond to Addiscombe.
