Erm, I don't really think Clapham Junction to Waterloo or Victoria needs
relieving,

I'm not sure that the passengers on platform 10 at Clapham Junction during
the morning peak, who often can't squeeze onto the train, would agree with
that.

True. The (or at least a) question is whether that factor would add
enough to the various other factors in justifying continuing any
prospective extension on from Battersea to CJ (well, CJ is already in
Battersea really, but you know wot I mean!).

(Questions would also need to be asked about whether the Northern
line's CX branch could handle the injection of extra pax that running
to/from CJ would bring.)

Essentially I kinda find this whole proposal a bit difficult to take
seriously though - i.e. enough for me to give it anything other than a
cursory flight of fantasy analysis. A developer is going to pay for a
tube line extension... ok, I'll believe it when I see it. It was
difficult enough getting the developer funded Imperial Wharf station
built - and that's a 4-car above ground station on an pre-existing
embankment with a pre-existing line!
