Nothing is being considered seriously at the moment - I think TfL have a

plan for the Victoria Line to be extended in a loop from Brixton to Herne
Hill and back. Thus trains would run S/B - Brixton - Herne Hill - Brixton
- N/B without terminating - much like the Heathrow loop. This has been
mooted as a way of increasing frequency which is currently limited by
the scissors crossover just north of Brixton station.
How much more frequent do they want trains? They already run every 2
minutes throughout most of the day, as it is!
Me, I wish they'd extend the line southwards to Streatham, but I doubt
that will happen, partly because of the underground River Effra.
