I was listening to a play on the radio yesterday set around a supposedly

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

Sounds like artistic licence.

The Charing X Loop on the Northern was flooded during the Second World
War. However, as it had been closed since the Hampstead tube was
upgraded and sealed off from the rest of the network it didn't make a
lot of difference...
