Initially, nearly six trains per hour will operate from Kennington station on the Charing Cross branch on the extension during peak hours.

During off-peak times, nearly five trains per hour will operate, increasing to ten trains per hour next year.
TfL has executed the Northern Line Extension $220.68m (£160m) under budget, bringing its projected final total expense to $1.52bn (£1.1bn).
TfL said in a statement: “The spending authority budget was increased to $1.74bn (£1.26bn) in January 2016, but TfL has worked hard to ensure the project provides strong value for money.”
The Northern Line Extension, which is backing around 25,000 new jobs, is said to be the first major Tube extension this century.
The extension’s opening comes ahead of the launch of the Elizabeth line, which will take place in the first half of next year.
In July, Liverpool Street Elizabeth line station was officially handed over from Crossrail to TfL.
