Would it be possible for LO to run services right round to Shepherd's

It would be possible - and I think Paul C recently said that it was an
idea is on TfL London Rail's radar (but that's a *very different*
thing from it actually happening).


Then again, perhaps more pertinent, would it be desirable as well as
possible?!


One could certainly make a case for it. Do bear in mind though that
the rail network south of the river is pretty busy, so working out how
to realistically slot in new services such as this wouldn't be a walk
in the park.

Oh, and as Mr Byrne correctly diagnosed, there's no money left.
