The theory is that it'd essentially be financed by the Nine Elms area
developers - so that's where one should look to for any clues. I dunno what
you're referring to when you say it's been "approved" - yes, the Mayor and
TfL are in approval of the notion of a privately financed extension, but
that's kinda as far as it's got (well, there may have been a little
preliminary technical work done at LU, but AFAICS that's about it). As to
whether it'll actually happen, well colour me highly sceptical. (Though if
the yanks were to bankroll it to serve their new embassy, maybe the Mayor
would go easy on them about their continuing congestion charge non-payment!)

Now, who wants to open a franchised McDonald's drive-thru on Nine Elms Lane?
