I'd lay money on the actual old kent road station ending up in the middle
of the 2 proposals if this extension ever gets built.

but was taken out because Bromley didn't support it (actively discouraged
it)


I can kind of see their point. Would you really want to switch to having
to
squeeze onto a tube train in the rush hour when up until now you've been
used
to mainline sized trains?


you really think there's that much of a difference?

And there will be more of them (per hour) so more room for all the people at
the outlying stations

Also tube trains arn't fast and the journey could end
up taking somewhat longer.


The services are already "all stops" so I can't see it being that different
