The current through service is to Morden or Kennington.

No, there wouldn't. The Northern Line trains are 3-car units, coupled in
pairs to make 6-car trains. You could run a single unit as the shuttle.

through trains in the peak, shuttle being a single unit and all other
trains on the line being pairs.
