how about he suggestion I made previously to e-open Brockley Lane
station, so at least it could be reached by one change there?

Yep, a Brockley interchange would be very useful.

Unfortunately, the philosophy of the London Overground appears to be
to avoid useful interchanges unless someone else pays for them.

North of Brockley, the line cross the London Bridge - Greenwich line,
with no interchange, there then follow non-interchances with the main
lines into Fenchurch and Liverpool streets and the central line in
shoreditch.

Going around the NLL, there are something like six lines crossed
without interchanges between Dalston and Willesdon junction.

Only on the WLL portion has real progress been made, with the stations
at Shepherds Bush and West Brompton, and one of those only happened
because Westfield paid for it.

It's very (very) easy to look at a map and talk about building
interchanges where lines cross, but actually building such
interchanges is very (very) costly. To say that the "philosophy" of LO
is to "avoid useful interchanges" is just daft - the way things are
now is a legacy of how the railways developed.
