"Liv St - Epping/Hainault/Woodford" - So you've rebuilt the connection from the GE to Leytonstone, yes, but presumably with no flying junction - interesting effects on timekeeping of the main line out of Liverpool Street. And, um, Liv St-Stratford has overhead wire AC electrification while the Central Line has LU third and fourth rail DC. Um, rolling stock for this service??

The Class 170s coming off MML. Either that or 47s and Mk II Stock.

"Moorgate - Fisbury Park - High Barnet" You have put the track back between Finsbury Park and East Finchley. But again, no flyover at Finsbury Park, with baleful effects on everything out of Kings Cross.
Again, what sort of electrification? What rolling stock?

There's definitely a dive-under at the southern end. There looks like there used to be one at the northern end too on whatever the OS are calling their 1:25000 maps these days. As far as electrification goes, it would be 3rd/4th Rail (newly installed from East Finchley to Drayton Park). It would use some of that extra C Stock.

And all of this just for two months a year until a solution to a/c on the deep tubes is found. But then, you were only joking, James, weren't you?

Damn, you noticed. Actually, there were one or two serious ideas in there... (mainly Wimbledon - Stanmore and Rayner's La - Edgware Rd).
