A study to examine the feasibility of extending London Underground’s Northern Line to Clapham Junction has concluded “there are no physical engineering or geological constraints” to prevent the scheme going ahead.
The report by the London Borough of Wandsworth looked at how the Tube line could be extended from Battersea Power Station – terminus of a new branch of the Northern Line which connected to the existing network at Kennington, completed in 2021 – to Clapham Junction, the busiest station in Europe by train numbers.
The feasibility study noted that the “tube service could attract additional transport users, ease overcrowding on existing rail and bus services and support additional development in the Clapham Junction area”, and “a Northern Line connecting Clapham Junction to Waterloo could replicate to an extent the service already provided by South Western railway”.
