    Tube future notions

    That's right, I think I should have been clearer, Battersea-Charing Cross-Edgware and Morden-Bank-High Barnet.

    Tube future notions

    I read an article about splitting the northern line a while back, I think it is implied that it would be Battersea-Edgware and Morden-High Barnet. I get the feeling this is something that will happen in a decade or so.

That’s odd, I have used the station a couple of times and cannot remember crossing the tracks, but I must have. The article is interesting, I knew they were...
