Correct - it's my understanding that improved frequency is the reason
for the double tracking. I think the long term plan is to restore
double track on all of the Wimbledon line but Wimbledon station is a
particular problem.

Especially when you consider that the existing platform is also down for
changes in the London and SE RUS's proposal for 5 tracking the SWML from
from Surbiton; i.e. Thameslink will be displaced onto the current tram
platform.

No indications of where they'd move the trams, but some people might be
pleased if it removed the confusion about Oyster PAYG once and for all.
(As discussed here in uk.t.l now and again.)

Are there any details for the five tracking to Surbiton?


http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%...20strategy.pdf

pdf pages 19 and 20 talks about the option but there isn't huge
detail.


Thanks for that, I can't see it happening because of the cost & the
disruption.
