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...

I've still not heard a good argument why someone would get off a fast
train at Clapham Junction to take a slow tube to Waterloo....where
that fast train was going anyway. Perhaps for the services going to
Victoria, but why wouldn't you just stay on the train and take the
District from Victoria? I think a station at Clapham Junction would do
wonders for serving the local area if done correctly, and to the same
end I'd add a few more. Clapham Junction, Battersea Central (on
Battersea Park Road), Battersea Park (proper unified station, not the
3 disparate ones we will end up with), Nine Elms, then Vauxhall.
