Under this plan, the Northern Line would be split at Clapham Common. The
section north of there would feed into an express tube that called only
at Tooting Broadway and Brixton.
Just to clarify - you mean the whole Northern line service from points
north of Clapham Common would then be diverted into an express service
calling only at Brixton and then the terminus, Tooting Broadway -
presumably in that order, right?

Um, no. For some peculiar reason I wrote "Brixton" when I meant
"Morden".

The southern all-stops section would be
extended from Clapham Common to Victoria (with no intermediate
stations).
Missing off Vauxhall....

Correct. Presumably it wasn't seen as a significant traffic point at
that time.

Aha - that makes a lot more sense! A detour from Clapham Common to
Brixton then back on course to Tooting Broadway would've been a pretty
strange plan.

Presumably so - but it makes for a very useful interchange now. Having
the foresight to see the potential of Vauxhall is just one of the many
things to the credit of those who planned the Magic line... ahem, I
mean the Victoria line.
