So close! That would have been a really handy link too.

http://londonreconnections.blogspot.com/2008/11/brief-history-of-camberwell-bakerloo.htmlPowers were obtained for the Bakerloo line extension to Camberwell in the 1930s. It is said that when the siding tunnels south of Elephant & Castle were reconstructed as part of the programme to lengthen trains from 6 to 7 cars, there were re-positioned on the Camberwell alignment. However no other work was carried out.
After World War II the project was revived, and the extension appeared on Underground maps. One of which can be found here, said to be from 1949.
Also, the order for 1949 rolling stock - built to augment the 1938 stock fleet - included sufficient cars to provide extra trains for the Camberwell extension.
