Do any of those services have a possibility of changing at Clapham
Junction for Waterloo?

How would they manage that?

Dunno. I was under the impression that Clapham Junction also served
some trains to Victoria.

*South Eastern* trains? By what route? How much do you know of the
layout in
the Clapham Junction to Battersea area?


If South Eastern trains were somehow able to switch to the Waterloo
route at Clapham Junction [which, at least for practical purposes,
they can't], then the whole issue of the possibility of changing at
Clapham Junction wouldn't arise. But if the SE trains stop at Clapham
Junction, then there is a pretty obvious possibility that some pax
might change for SWT services to Waterloo instead of staying on the SE
service to Victoria.


There are no SE Trains services that pass through Clapham Junction, so
the question doesn't arise.


I wondered if the references to Clapham Junction meant that someone had
had found a way to send some there! (didn't some SE trains used to go
via Croydon in the dim and distant past?)
