I thought they were expected to use the same platform (2?) at Clapham

Platform 1 is to be reinstated (across the island from platform 2).


I thought Ih ad read that this plan had been abandoned?

AIUI the current plan is to use platform 2 in two halves. Presumably WLL
trains will use the eastern half of the platform, and ELL trains will use
the western half via a new mid-platform crossover.

Actually, with the confusion about WLL trains running through to Stratford
via the NLL, there will be a similar confusion with ELL trains using the
South London Line between Old Kent Road and Factory Junction, though of
course the SLL terminology has already been abandoned between Peckham Rye
and Factory Junction, where the line that goes over the top of Brixton
Station is known as the Atlantic Lines, Perhaps the trains should be hauled
by 4-4-2 locos. ;-)
