Queens Road. You'd pretty much have to close one of either New Cross or
New Cross Gate at least. But which one? If you only consider the ELL
then it's obviously silly to have both of them, but when you look at the
network as a whole, they allow easy changes onto two different routes
further south.
The DLR has many different branches but the ATO copes there. I'm sure it
could have managed on an ELL with this layout.
