An extension to the London underground network could be one of the projects given the go-ahead after a London council was awarded two top credit ratings . . . .
Cabinet member for finance and corporate resources Guy Senior said that the
announcement opened up new possibilities for the council, including for any
necessary borrowing to pay for a planned extension to the Northern Line.

Regardless of any ambitions Wandsworth Council may have, the top priority for extending the Northern Line should be a line from Kennington to Clapham Junction. The biggest single anomaly in London's public transport system is the fact that the busiest station in the U. K. is in London but is not connected to the Underground. If Wandsworth Council want such a line to continue south from Clapham Junction, all well and good but an extension that by-passes Clapham Junction should not be allowed.
