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.


Would the Northen Line have enough capaity to cope with the increase in
passengers a station at Clapham Junction would generate?


Of course not. That'll be the reason TfL have already decided they won't
be taking the Northern Line to Clapham Jn...
