An acquaintance has just been briefed on progress on the Battersea
Power Stations Northern Line extension:

Semi-off-the-record-ly, he's been told that the feasibility studies
are done, that TfL, LU, the GLA, LB Wandsworth and LB Lambeth are all
in favour of the project, that (entirely private) finance is almost
complete, that a provisional route from Kennington to Battersea via
Nine Elms has been earmarked, and that RFPs for project managers,
engineers and lead contractors will go out shortly.
Meanwhile LU will look at funding options to extend the work to
Clapham Junction at public expense.
