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.

I think some are missing the (potential) bigger picture.

Extending the (outer SLL) Crystal Palace service to Clapham Junction
would use platforms 16 & 17, which could then be extended up the WLL
to Willesden Junction. The SLL service would then have platforms 2a &
2b all to itself. As has been mooted elsewhere, they could conceivably
then extend these to Wimbledon via East Putney if they rebuilt the
flyover at the very least...though they'd probably have to reinstate
platform 1 for that as well, depending on whether 2b is obtained by
building out the platform to make a bay or by dividing the platform
and using a crossover.
