The extension is certainly being built and will open in 2020, but the line
won't be split into two for some years (if at all). The split requires the
rebuilding of Camden Town station.


So Morden will just lose, what, a third of its peak service?


The Northern is to have a significantly larger fleet, and both branches
should have an enhanced service.


Is there spare capacity at Camden Town?


AIUI Camden Town has sufficient platform capacity. The pedestrian
tunnels are insufficient for the station's future role as an
interchange.

The upcoming rebuild will resolve that issue.
