Its all gone quiet with the bakerlook. Anyone know what the latest is?

Also is the northern line extension underway yet or is it still in the
planning phase?

IIRC, the government gave its final approval on the Northern Line
Extension. But I know nothing more at this time.

A year to fit two stations out and another year to test and commission
the extension! You'd think an underground extension was mature
technology by now.

Has there been any discussion of the names of the two lines into which
the Northern Line will be split? I think the Greathead line would be a
good name for the Morden - Bank - Barnet / Mill Hill East line.

Surely it'll all still be called the Northern Line until such time as the
lines no longer join and cross at Camden?

LU seems a bit inconsistent with line naming. Part of the Bakerloo became
the jubilee line but the District line is still a huge lump with all its
various branches. And to a lesser extent the Met.

There might have been an argument for giving the Wimbleware service a
different name, and perhaps include the Olympic service in it, but the rest
of the District can't be thought of as anything but one line. The Met as it
is today is very much a single line. Of course, the Met once included the
H&C.
