Northern Line trains goes to Battersea

Hi guys 

This will be an interesting blog post. That was something that I was excited about it. Northern Line extension to Battersea. 

So yesterday, Two new stations were opened : Battersea Power Station Tube Station and Nine Elms. Opened on Monday 20th September 2021. 😀🙂👏🚇 Now the total of London Underground stations is 272. Previously it was 270. Now it has risen to 2 new stations. Battersea and Nine Elms.

As Londoner & train lover, this is exciting. Very exciting. Hopefully I’ll found a perfect time to visit there. Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms. 😀🙂🚇😁

Hopefully at some point within next days and weeks, I will talk more about my love for trains and why so I love using the Tube. London Underground and then maybe, I might talk about my own experience of travelling on Barcelona metro trains and Paris metro trains. 

So yeah, stay tuned for that.🙂😀🚇

Also two interesting facts about Battersea. One. Power station (Battersea Power Station. Perhaps that is why it should have been called “Battersea Power Station Station” given none of all 271 tube stations have been named “station”). Two. Battersea Power Station is included on 1977 album Animals by rock band Pink Floyd. 

So if you are thinking of visiting two new tube stations in South West London, find a good time perfectly to come over to visit there. Go on the ride with Northern Line train (Charing Cross branch) that normally go to Kennington (mostly to terminate & sometime continuing all the way = all stations to Modern). Well as of yesterday, two more stops from Kennington to Battersea via Nine Elms. 

Moreover, the whole infrastructure expansion project (Northern Line extension to Battersea) costs £1.1 Billion. That have been ongoing until yesterday for 6 years (2015) and that I know it will create new jobs and new homes in Battersea. Good for London & and the UK. Especially that is needed for the post pandemic world as Covid have severely impacted public transport worldwide not just in London or anywhere in the UK.

Two new tube stations is the first time that has happened this century (21st century), new stations for Northern Line in 80 years and the first time that there is a tube extension since the Jubilee Line extension in the late 1990s so over 20 years ago and i know for the fact that Jubilee Line trains used to terminate at Charing Cross before 1999. 

So yeah, I am excited for the new Northern Line stations: Nine Elms and Battersea. Plus, there is some talks of the idea of extending Northern Line Trains to Clapham Junction (therefore making a new terminus like yesterday for Battersea). It is not on the cards at the moment. One thing I can say is that only time will tell. What do you think of it everybody?
