Default Boost for Tube extension plan as Wandsworth gets triple-A ratings

...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.

TfL have also explained that there can't be an interchange at Vauxhall,
IIRC... Only the Charing Cross branch can possibly handle the increase
in passengers.

I thought all this rumour started because the American Embassy was
moving from *square to the New Covent Garden and wanted the Northern
extended down there from Kennington, where upon TfL said it would only
consider the route if it continued south to serve Clapham Junction.
Have things really taken hold enough for a serious bid from Wandsworth
to get it down to there and if so where will it terminate? Indeed,
would they put in a loop there and do away with Kennington loop leaving
just the siding?
