Maybe they should have just built a two way conveyor from
Battersea to
Vauxhall and then we wouldn't need the railway ;-)

I wonder if when that extension is built and the line is
operationally split
in 2 whether one half of the line will be given a new name or
whether it'll
still all be known as the northern line?

The extension is certainly being built and will open in 2020, but
the line
won't be split into two for some years (if at all). The split
requires the
rebuilding of Camden Town station.


So Morden will just lose, what, a third of its peak service?

One presumes the trains that currently terminate at Kennington will
proceed onto the new branch.

slaps forehead composes himself I knew that. I was just testing.

Actually, the map on the TfL site says otherwise.

But what you're saying makes more sense than their map.

"When the extension opens, two-thirds of Charing Cross branch trains
will continue to Battersea giving 16 trains an hour, with the remainder
continuing to turn on the Kennington loop or going on to Morden."

Judging by
http://content.tfl.gov.uk/nle-twa-de...ctions-a14.pdf
,the part of the loop between the exit for Battersea and the entrance
from Battersea will only be long enough for one train. I suppose that's
enough!
