Pure rumour says the plan involves the Hayes branch.


It's more than a rumour, as confirmed by Bakerloo line GM Kevin Bootle
to Modern Railways in November 2007 (p87). *He said that "extending the
line to Hayes remains a live proposition for the longer term".


Which is completely meaningless, since 'live proposition' means everything
from 'we're oiling the TBMs now' to 'a work experience student once had a
look at a map and thought it might be doable'. The only way it could stop
being a live proposition would be if a rift valley opened up in Peckham.


That's as may be but it elevates the prospect from one of pure rumour
to something that is verifiably under consideration. Which makes it
altogether a more likely prospect than your super-Met into south-east
London, no? ;-)
