That was a bit of an oversight but I'm guessing when the tube was extended to
Morden maybe the current mainline encumbants of the area didn't want the tube
nicking all their passengers so perhaps they blocked an interchange station?

Exactly. See "Wall of Death Railway Line."

A passenger extension round the side of Morden Depot to Morden South, or
a new station at Morden Road, would probably get shot down these days
due to capacity problems on the Morden branch of the Northern Line.

Plus, the trains are already full, and unless it can be proven that
South Wimbledon (Merton) or Morden will become less crowded if the
Northern Line went to Morden South, or if Morden Road was built, then
it's even more likely to be turned down IMHO on the grounds of
overcrowding risks.

Besides, would somebody living next to Tooting Broadway want to go to
Morden South anyway?
