The West London Line would be particularly useful for the link with
Clapham Junction. But I imagine there would be dangerous overcrowding
with the current level of service.

They'd have to use longer trains, presumably with selective door opening
because extending Imperial Wharf and West Brompton's platforms could be
tricky. Thankfully, those aren't very important stations, especially
for people going to/from HS2.

How much scope is there to upgrade/
get the freight off the route if it became a priority for investment?

It's a pretty busy freight route, outside of the passenger peaks. While
waiting for a train yesterday evening three freight trains went through
in fifteen minutes.
