It was a reference to the May Modern Railways which has a London
Overground feature in it. There was a quote saying TfL were
considering extending the CP journeys to Clapham Junction via Balham.
They'd terminate in Platform 17 (I assume that makes sense to those
who are familiar with CJ). There was no more detail than this in the
article. As a non expert on the rail network south of the Thames I
couldn't say how feasible or otherwise the TfL idea actually is.

Platform 17 is the one used by Southbound Southern services coming off
the West london Line; Platform 16 is used by Northbound trains on this
route. Platform 17 is the last platform in the station, and has a
very tight curve on it.

The London Overground services into Clapham Junction use platform 2,
on the opposite side of the station. Beyond the station this track
only leads into some sigings, which seem to be disused. There used to
be another track on this route, in platform 1. This track was lifted
many years ago, but is due to be re-instated, presumably for the
service from Surrey Quays to Clapham junction, which is due to start
in 2012.

No, the old platform 1 track will not be reinstitated.
