While I'm sure this has been discussed before - but was there ever any
thought of running the London Overground trains along the SLL into
Victoria as well as into Clapham Junction? ie - one every 15 mins out of
Victoria, along the SLL to Highbury and then one every 15 mins from
Clapham Junction to Dalston or some such.

The South London Metro 10-car scheme involves closing the junction to the
Atlantic Lines at Battersea Park - the Down Slow platform will be extended
across the junction. Nor would it be practical to run the SLL service into
Victoria Eastern. It would still lose the Battersea Park stop, and it would
not be easy for Down trains to call at Wandsworth Road. The link to Clapham
Junction in fact greatly increases connectivity, while there are other
routes to Central London, including LUL from Clapham North, and Southeastern
to Victoria from Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill.
