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?

If such an extension were added to the Northern Line in its present form, probably not. But if the Northern Line were split into two separate lines - which will almost certainly have to happen if a High Speed Line from Euston is built - then quite possibly.
