Erm, isn't that exactly what they're doing with the DLR? It will go
from Stratford LL (from what are currently the NLL platforms, right
next to the Jubilee) to Stratford International.

At the time there was no plan to truncate the NLL at Stratford, so the
existing hole under the GEML, now used by the NLL and to be used by the DLR,
would not have been available for the JLE. The JLE would have needed a new
tunnelled route under the GEML, with underground stations at Stratford
Regional and Stratford International.
