The frequencies have been released for the Battersea extension of 6 tph in the peaks and 5 tph off peak. These will double by mid 2022. Based on that then around half the off peak trains will still terminate at Kennington and hopefully the 4 tph in the peaks will still operate to Morden via Charing Cross. Later in the year, Mill Hill East gets a direct service again at most times. Not sure if they run via only one of the branches or alternate via would Bank or Charing Cross. They'll also be an early morning and late night shuttle service between Kennington and Battersea Power Station. This will mean that those particular trains terminating at Kennington will need to reverse along the Kennington Loop to the southbound platform for the return journey to Battersea.

I like this. It's interesting they didn't put those platform doors in like they did on crossrail and the jubilee line

We're almost approaching September so not too long to wait until the Battersea extension opens. In regards to buses serving the stations, are there going to be any route changes or will it stay the same?

Just seen the new WTT. Looks like all systems go.

I can't see any bus changes until new travel patterns emerge. If the extension thins out passenger numbers on parallel bus routes there could be some thinning of frequencies in due course, however as there is still much development going on in that area the extra capacity could soon be mopped up.

The developments are not aimed at people who use buses though - if they need public transport, it's highly likely they'd use the tube instead. The buses currently through that section are used by people who are making local journeys, travelling to Vauxhall for onward connections or workers on the building sites

I wonder when the new extension gets up and running and the Bank station works are completed whether you have the Northern Line run from High Barnet/Mill Hill East to Morden as it does 95% of the time now.
Then the Edgware to Battersea which will become a new named line?
The Northern Line must be confusing for tourists.

It will be High Barnet via Bank and Edgware via Charing Cross I'm not sure if there will be many changes when the extension is open.

There will be a new timetable when the works at Bank are completed. The main features are: - full frequency operating on the new extension (it will start with an interim 6tph and double in the new timetable) - Finchley Central-Mill Hill East shuttle replaced by through services at most times - more trains from Morden in the busiest hour of the morning peak

Do we know when the Camden redevelopment will be delivered please?

I dunno why they pulled it back in 2006.
