My first reaction was "Seems a pity not to connect either proposed
station with any other rail/underground station even if it's only
Battersea Park." but thinking about it what sort of travel
opportunities would that open? Not many I suspect. Going on to
Clapham Junction might be worthwhile but even then I'm not wholly
convinced.

It helps everyone who arrives on the Victoria "side" who wants to go
to the city.

Currently they have to change twice (or rattle around on the circle
from Vic)

They'd still have to change twice surely - the drawings that
appeared somewhere recently assumed connections to/from the
reversing loop beyond Kennington station, so they could only have
access to the Charing Cross branch rather than the City branch -
therefore forcing a change at Kennington?

Indeed so. The branch is intended to be a prelude to a Northern Line split
with only Bank services going to Morden.
