context_page_description: Battersea Power Station is a London Underground station under construction in Battersea, London, as part of the Northern line extension to Battersea.
  Partially funded by the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station, the new station will serve the redevelopment site, as well as Battersea itself. The station is located on Battersea Park Road, close to Battersea Park railway station. The station is due to open in 2021.
context_section_description: The station was given final approval by the Secretary of State for Transport in November 2014, and construction began in 2015, with completion originally scheduled for 2020. 
  Tunnelling of the NLE began at Battersea, with the two tunnel boring machines - Helen and Amy - departing the site in March 2017 to dig the running tunnels of the extended line.
  In the draft edition of the TfL "Business Plan 2014", issued as part of the TfL Board papers for their meeting on 10 December 2014, the map TfL's Rail Transport Network at 2021 labelled the terminus as "Battersea Power Station", instead of just "Battersea" as had appeared on previous publications. In December 2015 TfL confirmed that the name of the station will be "Battersea Power Station".
  In December 2018, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan announced that the project will be delayed until September 2021 at the earliest, "to increase the station's capacity to cope with a higher number of passengers than originally forecast". 
  By June 2019, major tunnelling and track works had been completed, with a engineering train running on the extension for the first time. By February 2020, construction of the station was nearly complete, with platforms, escalators and the Tube Roundel installed on the station.
