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

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.

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.

Evidence? If so, why was it always only referred to as the Camberwell
extension in e.g. books on the history of the 1938TS?
