The following (butterfly netted) POD is from 1870 onwards within the context of a more competitive showing by the British in the Second Industry Revolution up to the present (plus solvent post-war UK with greater economy and managed decline plus wanked domestic infrastructure scenarios), with inspiration from various OTL Underground / Rail proposals from various sources including London’s Lost Tube Schemes by Antony Badsey-Ellis, Carto Metro London map, the ATL maps at Not Quite Tangible, etc.
The initial change would be the approved but unbuilt tunnel between Euston and Charing Cross stations known initially as the North Western and Charing Cross Railway, later the Euston, St Pancras and Charing Cross Railway and London Central Railway being built. Which would in turn impact the evolution of both the ATL Northern Lines and Metropolitan Lines.
This ATL tunnel between Euston and Charing Cross was in essence akin to the Snow Hill tunnel in London that later became part of Thameslink linking Farringdon and Blackfriars, though following a similar route to the OTL Northern Line’s Charing Cross route minus Warren Street yet including a stop at Euston Square towards Euston as well as another branch towards St Pancras or potentially to the City Widen Lines. It is likely this Euston to Charing Cross tunnel would later form the basis for a second ATL Thameslink / Crossrail route in tandem with the OTL Thameslink route from Farringdon to Blackfriars. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Western_and_Charing_Cross_Railway
For the ATL Northern Line while the station layout at Euston would be different compared to OTL, it would still end up linking with Waterloo from Euston via Russell Square and Holborn by basically running towards Aldwych / Temple onwards in place of the OTL redundant Piccadilly Line’s Aldwych route (that is not approved in this ATL). It would also later be split into two lines.
Meanwhile the ATL Metropolitan Line benefits from potentially evolving into a Crossrail-esque line thanks to part of the North Western & Charing Cross railway tunnel also connecting from Euston Square to King’s Cross St Pancras and thus towards the City Widened Lines to Moorgate. Which later allowed the route to separate from the Circle line at Baker Street via new platforms on to an extended City Widen Lines from Euston, with the route from Moorgate (if not earlier at Farringdon / Barbican) later being extended to Liverpool Street onwards towards a takeover of the alternate Lea Valley Lines – one of which travels to as far as Chelmsford or even Dunmow. - http://www.urban75.org/london/ongar.html
The following ATL original lines would evolve as follows up to the present, post-war lines / routes to follow later.

Camden Line – Alternate Charing Cross branch of Northern Line from Euston to Waterloo in event North Western & Charing Cross railway tunnel is built, the Kennington to Tulse Hill branch is essentially an alternate Kennington to Peckham Rye plan. The alternate Kennington to Battersea route meanwhile would end up being extended to Earl's Court as a result of filling the void left by the ATL Chelney tube route taking over the former District Line's Wimbledon route from Fulham Broadway as well as the Camden Line in turn taking over the former District route to Earl's Court from West Brompton.

Metropolitan Line – Essentially evolves into a Crossrail-esque line thanks to part of the North Western & Charing Cross railway tunnel also connecting to King’s Cross St Pancras and thus towards the City Widened Lines to Moorgate. Which later allowed the route to separate from the Circle line at Baker Street via new platforms on to an extended City Widen Lines from Euston, with the route from Moorgate later being extended to Liverpool Street onwards towards a takeover of the alternate Lea Valley Lines – one of which travels to as far as Chelmsford. Additionally the route between Bethnal Green Junction and Stratford would be increased to 6-tracks instead of the current 4-tracks as in OTL.

Central Line – Similar to real-life with OTL Hainault to Woodford route ditched in favor of alternate Hainault to Buckhurst Hill proposal, additionally the pre-war proposed route from West Ruislip to Denham as well as the 1913 proposal to Richmond was approved. However the latter was later paired back to Gunnersbury before being re-routed to Kew Bridge, in addition to the Central Line being paired back from Ongar onwards to Loughton earlier on as the route was being taken over by both the ATL Metropolitan line and National Rail services. Another approved proposal was a post-war route initially to Collier Row (derived from OTL scheme) that was later extended to as far as Noak Hill.

Waterloo & City Line – Was initially extended to Liverpool Street and Shoreditch in the 1930s connecting to the former East London Line as well as to Elephant & Castle prior to being cut back to Shoreditch and later Liverpool Street in the early post-war era where the route was extended to Crystal Palace – High Level from Elephant & Castle (partly inspired by both the 1902-1903 City & Crystal Palace Railway scheme as well as the 1949 London Railway Plan's Route K to Crystal Palace - High Level), before fairly recent extensions of the route to Woodford partly inspired by rejected OTL Jubilee line proposals to Ilford and an underground revival of the Fairlop Loop now Hainault route link from Ilford to Newbury Park towards Hainault. It was also expanded to 5-cars, the limitations of which would be compensated by a much more frequent service from Hainault to Crystal Palace - High Level.

Hammersmith & City Line - otherwise unrelated to the real-life Metropolitan Line-derived route from Hammersmith to Barking, which was discontinued in favor of a separated Circle line and a deep-level segment of the District line route from Aldgate East to High Barnet via Liverpool Street & Old Street. The line’s roots stem from the proposed 1905 Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway from Aldgate to Acton Vale or Hammersmith which despite originally being conceived as a spoiler scheme ended up becoming its own line, merged with the partially built 1902 East London, City & Peckham Railway from Aldgate to Liddon Road. It would later be followed by extensions to Cowley – inspired by Route D to Yeading Lane from Acton Vale in 1949 London Railways Plan, a takeover of the District line’s Uxbridge branch from Hammersmith as well as an extension from Liddon Road to Cranham.

Central Line – Similar to real-life with OTL Hainault to Woodford route ditched in favor of alternate Hainault to Buckhurst Hill proposal, additionally the pre-war proposed route from West Ruislip to Denham as well as the 1913 proposal to Richmond was approved. However the latter was later paired back to Gunnersbury before being re-routed to Kew Bridge, in addition to the Central Line being paired back from Ongar onwards to Loughton earlier on as the route was being taken over by both the ATL Metropolitan line and National Rail services. Another approved proposal was a post-war route initially to Collier Row (derived from OTL scheme) that was later extended to as far as Noak Hill.

Waterloo & City Line – Was initially extended to Liverpool Street and Shoreditch in the 1930s connecting to the former East London Line as well as to Elephant & Castle prior to being cut back to Shoreditch and later Liverpool Street in the early post-war era where the route was extended to Crystal Palace – High Level from Elephant & Castle (partly inspired by both the 1902-1903 City & Crystal Palace Railway scheme as well as the 1949 London Railway Plan's Route K to Crystal Palace - High Level), before fairly recent extensions of the route to Woodford partly inspired by rejected OTL Jubilee line proposals to Ilford and an underground revival of the Fairlop Loop now Hainault route link from Ilford to Newbury Park towards Hainault. It was also expanded to 5-cars, the limitations of which would be compensated by a much more frequent service from Hainault to Crystal Palace - High Level.

Hammersmith & City Line - otherwise unrelated to the real-life Metropolitan Line-derived route from Hammersmith to Barking, which was discontinued in favor of a separated Circle line and a deep-level segment of the District line route from Aldgate East to High Barnet via Liverpool Street & Old Street. The line’s roots stem from the proposed 1905 Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway from Aldgate to Acton Vale or Hammersmith which despite originally being conceived as a spoiler scheme ended up becoming its own line, merged with the partially built 1902 East London, City & Peckham Railway from Aldgate to Liddon Road. It would later be followed by extensions to Cowley – inspired by Route D to Yeading Lane from Acton Vale in 1949 London Railways Plan, a takeover of the District line’s Uxbridge branch from Hammersmith as well as an extension from Liddon Road to Cranham.
