Are there actually plans for WLL trains to go that far east?
No. The NLL and ELL overlap between Canonbury and Highbury.
Oops. Never was good at geography! Or decrypting TLAs.
Well to be fair it all depends how you categorise things. It depends
on whether you describe the infrastructure or the service. Mr Scott
and others are quite correct that trains from the WLL will run
through to Stratford from Clapham Junction. However is it still a
WLL service when it reaches Canonbury or is it a NLL service?
I tend to think of the bits of railway as being distinct when it
comes to the Overground. This is reinforced by the fact that the
ELL and NLL will run side by side but with no through running in
normal circumstances due to the track design at Highbury. Something
similar applies at Clapham Junction as there are real practical
problems there about how a ELL train would reverse and then head
north up the WLL without causing all sorts of issues.
I thought they were expected to use the same platform (2?) at Clapham
Jn?
Platform 1 is to be reinstated (across the island from platform 2).
I thought Ih ad read that this plan had been abandoned?
