Too many logistical problems would exist with moving the Gatwick
Express into Waterloo with track layout etc. What though may be an
idea is to move some South Eastern trains into Waterloo instead of
Victoria. This would free up capacity at Victoria station and create
new links from place like Bromley and Beckenham directly into
Waterloo.

Interesing idea. If trains coming off the Peckham Rye/Lewisham link
are on the right track for the flyover, what about Dartford-Waterloo?
There's already an existing customer base for it (built up through
Waterloo East) and it could ease pressur on the Charing Cross line.
