I think the Greathead line would be a good name for the Morden - Bank - Barnet / Mill Hill East line. |

Surely it'll all still be called the Northern Line until such time as the lines no longer join and cross at Camden? |

Part of the Bakerloo became the jubilee line but the District line is still a huge lump with all its various branches. And to a lesser extent the Met. -- Spud |

You'd think an underground extension was mature technology by now. And how long has been allocated for Crossrail for these bits? The tunnels are pretty much done now and we're not going to see service through the core until late 2018 from memory. |
