I notice that "Nine Elms" roundels have gone up all over the hoarding

Boris has also ceremonially started a conveyor belt from the Battersea
station site to the Thames.

Maybe they should have just built a two way conveyor from Battersea to
Vauxhall and then we wouldn't need the railway ;-)

I wonder if when that extension is built and the line is operationally
split in 2 whether one half of the line will be given a new name or
whether it'll still all be known as the northern line?


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?


Not exactly as I understand it. They will all go via Bank instead of some
going via Charing Cross.
