The best idea i've come up with is to use them to extend the DLR from
Bank to Farringdon. I'm not entirely sure how you get from Farringdon
to Moorgate, though - might need to do a lap round Finsbury Circus to
gain enough altitude.

I doubt there would be the funding made available for such a scheme,
even if the rquired tunnelling could be achieved.

Isn't the long term wish list for the Bank branch of the DLR to extend it to
Charing Cross, perhaps terminating in the Jubilee Line platforms? I'm not
sure what if any intermediate stations would be included.

The Bank branch of the DLR points north, at least by the time it
reaches Bank.

I thought that the possbility was to leave Bank as it is, create a
replacement station for Tower Gateway on a straight section of the
existing tunnel, create a new branch towards Charing Cross where the
tunnel is still pointing west and close the existing Tower Gateway.

So Charing Cross would replace Tower Gateway as a terminus for some
services.

But that would make the recent expenditure on rebuilding Tower Gateway
rather extravagant.
