The Northern Line will hopefully be split by then,


Is that actually on the cards? I thought this was no more than a idea
floated by the pundits.


It's mentioned in Transport 2025, see page 88 among others.

In the timeline on page 119 it says that the Northern Line upgrade
should happen before 2012. It requires a redesign of Camden Town
station, but that will definitely have to happen anyway.

I can't find it on Alwaystouchout.com (yet)?


The Northern line will be getting new signalling and a new control
centre, which is the upgrade mentioned, but looking at the Transport
2025 document it appears that the splitting of the line is a
longer-term proposal more in the planning stage at present.
