The tunnels have TWICE the cross section area of existing tube tunnels,
to allow a walkway!

Great idea! Walking along tracks is bloody awful. If there is an evac
then a walkway will speed things up enormously. Same with getting
mechanics to problem scenes.

It looks like the public can get into a raised viewing platform over the
Battersea Power Station Station.

He mentioned a possible future extension to Clapham Jct!

I think there was always going to be passive provision for such an
extension, simply by having the terminus tunnels point the right way, but
with no current plan (or funding) to go any further.

Can't see it happening. There's no way the northern would cope with the
shear number of passengers who would use it from there.

While its nice to see crossrail and this extension, it would be even better if
the government would spend even a fraction of the cost of these on improving
public transport in the northern cities.
