I was under the impression it would be the High Barnet branch that runs via Bank to Morden.
At one point I did hear a plan was for the Jubilee to get new trains and the 1996 stock to move to the Northern line for a general increase in service.

New tube line running between north and south London: Cockfosters Osidge Brunswick Park Friern Barnet Colney Hatch Muswell Hill Crouch end Crouch Hill Holloway Road (could be a cross platform interchange with the Piccadilly line like at Finsbury Park but this would require the Piccadilly line tracks to be rearranged) Market Estate Camden Town Euston Russell Square Holborn (makes use of the disused Aldwych branch of the Piccadilly line, whilst providing a cross platform interchange) Aldwych/Temple (could use Aldywch platforms and rebrand it as Temple with connection to Circle and District lines) Waterloo Elephant and Castle Walworth Camberwell Denmark Hill East Dulwich Dulwich (Lordship Lane) Sydenham Lower Sydenham Downham Bromley North
This would provide new links to central London from areas which don't have any LU links (particularly the southern end). Could help relieve pressure on some central London bus routes, allowing them to be reduced in frequency, such as the 68 and the 91. Line would have to be completely underground though.

It's never going to be built in a million years, but still ....

That would have been great for the 24 years I lived off Colney Hatch Lane. A stop at Muswell Hill would have needed an escalator almost as long as the ones at Highgate.

Could do with a lift since Muswell Hill is one of the highest places in London

I just thought that Muswell Hill is too built up to have an above ground station. Certainly by Holloway the tunnel would need to start. It's probably not feasible to construct a new railway completely from scratch in the open.

It's probably not feasible to construct a new railway completely from scratch in the open. Muswell Hill did though have a station in the open, the line ran under Muswell Hill (the road) a little to the south of the Broadway. It was on a former Great North Eastern Railway branch line from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace which was to have been incorporated into the Northern Line, but the works stopped due to the Second World War and it was decided to abandon them. The line soldiered on with a peak-time steam train service until 1954. Most of the route is now a walking trail, The Parkland Walk, and can be followed on foot. The story of the Northern Heights Extensions is a fascinating one and well worth reading about if you have an interest in railway history and "what might have been".

I live not far from Castelnau and been through Tokyngton last Thursday actually, never heard of Lamorbey though Lamorbey's near Greenwich Well, near-ish 😂 Lamorbey is the northern part of Sidcup. Basically north of Sidcup Station. The swimming baths at Sidcup used to be called Lamorbey Baths.

To be fair, I'm from the complete opposite area of London and I knew it was in the SE area so I just thought it was somewhere there! Sometimes prefixed with 'Blackfen' (as in the ward name). It's interesting how we have these weird place names in London
