The extension toCamberwell was a plan to extend the Bakerloo Line. The project was to start at the late 1940s, but they cancelled it for an unknown reason. Then in the 21st century, they revised the extensionplan andproposed it again. So far, nothing has been agreed. The 1940sversion of the extension had two stations. Onerumour of why theycancelled the project was because Camberwell was quite a bad location to do further extensions.
Between 1917 and 1982, Bakerloo line trains continued along the DC line pastHarrow & Wealdstone toWatford Junction. These stations continue to be served byLondon Overground.
