I suppose both could be doable although that would start to seriously

the WLL as it gets you to West Hampstead for Jubilee, Highbury for
Victoria and Stratford. Though I suppose Clapham X is just as useful
for onward journeys. Hmm.....

heads or similar - especially if Laing's proposal to provide Chiltern
platforms also went through.

But why not have the Clapham trains as the through Stratford trains and
use Richmond trains as the shuttles. Seems to make more sense to me.

Within the next few years it is likely that there will be an equal
number of through trains from Clapham Junction to West Hampstead and
beyond as there are from Richmond.
