Kennington
Part of the incorrect new version of the LU diagram showing the Battersea Power Station branch of the Northern Line, that opened in September 2021. Incorrect as it shows ALL trains on the Charing Cross branch as running to and from Battersea Power Station with no peak hour trains from the Charing Cross branch beyond Kennington to Morden, as has always been the case. Yet on the renewed Northern Line route diagrams above the seats on the 1995 stock trains, this correctly shows not only the Battersea Power Station branch but also a hatched line at Kennington indicating that peak hour trains do indeed still run to and from Morden via Charing Cross (see my photo, image no. 79563). And in any case, as from 15th January 2022 until May 2022, all trains from Morden will have to run via Charing Cross anyway when the Bank branch of the Northern Line is partially closed for reconstruction of Bank station (see my photo, image no. 79552). This photo was taken at Nine Elms station on the new Battersea branch on the afternoon of New Year's Day, Saturday, 1st January 2022.
