Does anyone know anything more about the detailed plans for P2 at at
Clapham
Jn, to allow for operation of the extended ELL services. A network change
proposal on NR's website includes this:

"This Network Change Notice outlines Network Rail's proposal for works
associated
with remodelling Platform 2 at Clapham Junction to create two separate
platforms
with segregated working."

Does 'separate' and 'segregated' suggest something a bit more than a mid
platform crossover as previously discussed? (The 'Cambridge solution'.)

Clapham Junction to Shepherds Bush is becoming increasingly
popular.The existing platform two now gets fairly crowded at peak
times and when delays occur. Do Network Rail propose to extend the
platform by filling in the void left by the closure of platform one?.
In which case are the existing supporting pillars, supporting the
former trackbed up to the load?. I am surprised that the Cambridge
solution is being considered.

I only mentioned the Cambridge style split platform because it has
previously come up in discussions here - I've never seen anything official.
Which was basically why I was asking if the quote from NR definitely implied
something different.

My own idea in a previous discussion (in uk.t.l IIRC) was to build out the
country end to the centre road as suggested by 'The Gardener' in his reply.
At the very least it would give significantly more circulating space at the
end of the platform where the new lift is.
