Default Fleet Line?

Kat wrote in message ...
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


There have only been a few abandoned major streches of sub-surface or
tube line, such as the current Thameslink line before 1988, the old
CSLR line to the City and the Aldwych branch, off the top of my head.
A whole Underground line seems just too useful to abandon!
