Yes - but Thameslink 2000 doesn't run between Herne Hill and Brixton. It
might just be a mistake though.

Are you sure? At the Brixton end, it goes to the NR station, not the tube.
This is a bit odd, since there's already track from there to Herne Hill!

None of the explanations i can think of (they're going to double the line
south with a tunnel, they're going to add a Thameslink shuttle between
Brixton and Herne Hill (if it's good enough for the Metropolitan ...),
they're going to divert some iSLL services to Herne Hill) make much more
sense than it being a Victoria line extension, and none make anywhere near
as much sense as it being a mistake, sadly.

Someone really ought to send a quick email to TfL and ask them about it.

Oh, and ''m a bit shaky on the details of the southern end of the ELLX;
can someone please reassure me that they are in fact planning a station at
Brixton, and have merely omitted it from this map?

They're considering it (along with Loughborough Junction) but it's not
definite since it will add extra expense.

To the best of my knowledge, the only new station planned on the
southern part of ELLE is Surrey Canal Road. Apart from that it's all
existing lines.

Well, yes, it would, but it would also be hugely useful. Has anyone done
one of those cost-benefit analyses that Montague seems so keen on?
