The emphasis certainly should be on joining up the dots. Unfortunately
the people who make the decisions seem to be totally unaware of how
that would benefit London. The second major failing of this Battersea scheme
is that is does not link up with other routes.

My particular obsession - an extension from Kennington to Clapham Junction
- would most definitely "join up the dots" as would other obvious - to practical
people - proposals like extending the Bakerloo Line to Peckham Rye and the
Victoria Line to Leytonstone.
