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!)
With the new embassy being outside the CC zone, they will be evading
fewer CC payments...
