The circular route that is planned is a joke, as people mentioned, you
need to change at Clapham Junction (the LO platform is a joke there too,
covered in weeds, even after they closed it for 4 weeks for
maintenance). You'll probably be dropped from Crystal Palace/Surrey
Quays at Clapham on platform 17, leaving a 1-2 minutes walk to platform
2 for the LO interchange.


But they didn't close for maintenance of platform 1, the closure was for
double tracking of the approach tracks.

You definitely won't end up in P17 from the SLL, because there is no rail
connection. The SLL service will run into a new platform 2, which will be
the current platform 2 extended out by one track width over half its length,
at the Wandsworth end. The WLL will run from the existing platform face,
which will be renumbered as P1. I'd expect that resurfacing of the whole
platform, and reopening the second set of stairs, will be done once the work
actually starts at the station....
