The new £1.1billion Northern Line Tube extension has come under fire just two days after it opened - from Londoners disappointed it does not go as far as Clapham Junction.
New stops at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station are the first major expansion of the underground this century.
But despite being hailed by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Transport Secretary Grant Shapps not everyone is happy.
Some commuters are confused by why the line does not extend to Clapham Junction to benefit even more people. It is understood planners were concerned going that far would overwhelm the line.
Tour director Merlin Fulcher aired his views online, declaring: 'Somewhat humiliating to the people of Wandsworth that the £15bn+ Nine Elms luxury speculation frenzy has only given a tube line serving a tiny fraction of the borough -- leaving most of Battersea, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Town etc just as disconnected as ever.'
Chris Howe, an engineering writer, added: 'Not extending the Northern Line to Clapham Junction seems like a big lost opportunity to me.'
Another Twitter user opined 'There’s nothing in nine Elms but the embassy and the residential apts of those that live there.
'Can someone explain why we needed so spend that much money to extent the northern line there! What about Streatham and Clapham junction- they need tubes.'
The two new stations were this week hailed by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Transport Secretary Grant Shapps
Nine Elms is one of the two new stops, which has baffled some commuters because it has just 'the embassy and appartments'
The lack of an extension to Clapham Junction was bemoaned by many Twitter users as the stops opened this week
And cyclist Matthew Hardy added: 'It seems crazy that the new Northern Line branch doesn't go to Clapham Junction, just over 1 mile away.'
TfL said the extension is supporting around 25,000 new jobs and more than 20,000 new homes as part of significant regeneration in the area around Nine Elms. The 40 major development sites creating the new jobs and homes are taking place between now and 2030.
In addition, TfL says, construction of the extension boosted the UK economy and supported around 1,000 jobs, including 79 apprenticeships.
Labour councillor Aydin Dikerdem has also questioned how the expansion had been funded.
He said: The Tube has been financed through a deal between Wandsworth Conservatives & developers. Section 106, the tax on developers we use to build social
