 The Plumstead Commoner
North Greenwich tube station was built with an extra set of platforms so that it could accommodate an extension of the line to Woolwich and Thamesmead in the future, but it's unlikely to happen, especially given the massive cost overruns that beset the jubilee line extension.
My real concern is that this illustrates exactly how the railway makes these decisions; pretend to consult passengers in order to justify what you want to do, but in fact consult in such a way that nobody is aware that any change is even planned and so that they certainly can't comment on it.
Walking home from Plumstead station isn't an option, as the hill climb involved walking home is horribly steep and long.
