How else are you going to fund it?

From the developers whom will reap the financial benefits perhaps? I'm
not against a loan in the general per se, just against a taxpayer-
subsidised and guaranteed one, especially given the site's history of
financial imploding.

IIRC Crystal Palace et al already have a railway service.
It does indeed, however it operates on a two track railway that has to
be shared with longer-distance suburban services. Compare and contrast
the service provision of Crystal Palace and Hendon Central, both zone
3/4 stations...not to mention that removing the current services from
their respective termini frees up capacity there.
