Going back to something you said - I had never considered the

The Forest Line proposal was to extend the W&C to Broad St - Dalston
Junction - Dalston East Junction - Hackney Wick - Clapton -
Chingford. It never got off page one of the study which produced it
(1960s or so).


Interesting. Presumably, the portal was to have been south of Dalston?

Are you sure about Dalston - Hackney Wick - Clapton - Chingford? Do
you mean Downs rather than Wick?


Yes.
