I don't think the present DLR stock will fit in the Jubilee tunnels from Aldwych to Charing Cross. Jubilee tunnels from Aldwych to Charing Cross? Tell me more! The original plan for the Jubilee Line was that after Charing Cross it would run to Aldwych (thus making that station a bit useful - tunnels along the Strand were built but never used) then along the course of the Fleet (hence the planned name "Fleet Line"), taking in Holborn Viaduct (now City Thameslink) and Fenchurch Street, then down to Surrey Docks (now Quays) and then over the mainline rail to Hayes (which would have brought the tube into that part of the world - I wonder how Fare's "Fair" would have gone down in such circumstances). However the project only got to Charing Cross and the remaining plans never materialised. |
