Default Fleet Line?

No the Fleet line never exisited, it was the original name for the
Jubilee Line until 1977 when it was remamed by the the newly elected
Conservative administration at the GLC to commerate the Queen's Silver
Jubilee in 1977.

I was listening to a play on the radio yesterday set around a supposedly
disused Underground line which had been closed due to flooding in the
1920s
Did this line ever exist or is it only artistic licence?
I've only managed to find references to it as an early name for the
Jubilee Line.
TIA
