The Stables Market is on Chalk Farm Road, exactly halfway between Camden
Town and Chalk Farm stations.

I have posted before about what I have considered to be the chronic
waste that is the ELLx and how this is sucking up funds when many
other benificial schemes that would affect far more people go
unfunded. More people will probably pass through Camden in a day than
will use the ELLx in a whole year but which scheme gets the money.

I think it's more about which scheme got planning permission.

Weirdly most of the facts in the posted article are lifted directly
from last year's Transport 2025 planning white paper - there's very
little new here. It'd be interesting to know what this "draft
document" amounts to.

That really makes sense. We are basing which projects get funding on
the basis of planning approvals rather that on a needs basis. It seems
incredible the a very busy station in central London closes or
operates as departure only on the basis of overcrowding and TfL can't
get its act together to sort it out.
If they can't get the planning permission then go ahead anyway without
the development.
How on earth can Livingstone bleed the travelling public dry then say
we can't do anything unless we build a multistory office block as part
of the development. They managed to rebuild St Pancras without
knocking it down and putting a 50 story eyesore on top.
