The Northern Line extension has operated successfully since opening in September 2021. Up to the 12 March 2022, circa 2.14 million trips have been recorded, with an average of 30,000 passengers per week at Nine Elms station and 60,000 passengers per week at Battersea Power Station. (TfL Board meeting - 8 June 2022) Did you go a week into the future as you’ve quoted the date of next week? 😁 It's not me its TFL 😉

would that mean that there's less Kennington terminating trains? Off-peak Kennington trains every 6min, rather than 6 6 3 6 repeating.

Looks like there are a few Northern line trains which haven't got their announcements updated yet. I was on a train on the Charing Cross branch where we were approaching Tottenham Court Road and the system (with Celia's voice) said "The next station is Tottenham Court Road, change for the Central line".

That extension to Battersea really surprised me today. I alighted at Kennington expecting to see most of the passengers cross over to the Morden branch but instead it was just a handful. The entire train filled up as well. The new shopping centre clearly has an appeal and it certainly does build a case for the northern line to be extended further south in the near future based on what I saw today.

The Northern Line is unlikely to see an extension in the near future. It's been said not until at least Crossrail 2 is built is when an extension is possible. It was left purposely not to serve Clapham Junction to prevent overwhelming the line.

It seems expensive, disruptive and there are better options that could be done on a much more cost effective way. PFIs are realistically gonna be the way forward for major investments on the tube network for the foreseeable future so with a large scale redevelopment in Wandsworth it could happen. But then again I don’t see any major movement until the long term Camden Town issue is resolved.

But then again I don’t see any major movement until the long term Camden Town issue is resolved. Crossrail 2 is still listed as a London-wide strategic project. It's purpose is to provide additional capacity on the South West and West Anglia Main Lines aswell to relive the Victoria and Northern lines which are expected to be at capacity once HS2 arrives at Euston. What I can see is the project scaling down similar to HS2. Scrapping the New Southgate branch or the routing away from Chelsea and Tooting will at least save a third to 40% of the current estimated cost.

My major issue is how much demolition would be required in Wimbledon. Pretty much all of centre court would have to go, with only the listed ex-town hall at the front remaining and most of the shops on the bridge as well. Okay, they’ll be rebuilt but it is a long time to loose that much retail space in Merton so I can understand why the council completely opposed it. If there is a way to avoid all of that on a large scale I could get on board. It’s effectively shelved right now and I don’t see TfL having the capital to commit to the initial builds or loans for a long time yet.
