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.

Huh. So much for any possibility of actually running a frequent service
then. In the peaks, trains between Willesden Junction and Clapham
Junction are *rammed*, and especially southbound in the evening peak,
people are often left on the platforms at Olympia and further south
because there's no room on the train. That's really not acceptable when
there's only four trains an hour.
