Actually, the situation at Clapham Junction is interesting because the

map
shows the existing Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction line as

Silverlink
Metro, continuing unbroken (implying no change of train) as the ELL
extension. Does this mean WJ-CJ trains will be routed to use one of the
high-numbered platforms at CJ (as for long-distance trains that use the
WJ-CJ line), since Platform 2 at CJ is a terminus platform!


I think this is just bad design - there is no plan yet for ELL services
to continue up the WLL; the capacity just isn't there. However there are
plans for a single TOC to run the WLL, ELL, NLL and GOBLIN.


Surely they could extend the ELL services to take over the existing WLL
Clapham - Willesden ones?

Also they've missed out the planned station on the ELL extension at Brixton.
Not having an ELL station at Brixton would be a cardinal sin IMHO.
