Definately a good idea. Judging by the amount of passengers that use the 344 between vauxhall and battersea, it can't come quick enough. The 344 is a high frequency route but sometimes it has it problems. There be days when I wait for the 156 at queenstown road but end up getting a 137/452 to battersea as its taking too long. I get to battersea only to see that I have to wait almost over 10 minutes for a 344. When it does come its fairly busy. The 156 also serves battersea and vauxhall but I find it slightly unreliable. Theres been a few occasions when I had to wait over 15 minutes for it. This proposal would be even better if it was to serve oval station. That way, I won't have to get two buses to the changeover point at kennington church from QB

I saw a diagram of how the extension would look on the tube map if it was built. I was thinking, wouldn't be even better if it could connect the Morden to Oval section to the proposed line - opening up a brand new link.
