Personally I think it will never see the light of day, unless Kenny L
can find the cash in his 3bilGBP TfL package.


Certainly little likelihood at the moment at Cross River Transit covers
a significant proportion of Walworth and Peckham (although not Camberwell).

Fascinating.


Transport plans for Walworth Road and Camberwell include re-opening the
former stations there, on the Thameslink service to Sutton/Wimbledon.
Those plans are very sketchy though.

Anything is better than nothing; it's just that old frequency chestnut
popping up again - Camberwell would likely have three platforms for
reversing, which means higher, more stable Bakerloo frequencies.
Meaning a better service for Camberwell.

How many tph run on the Sutton/Wimbledon lines near Walworth Road and
Camberwell, and if they stop, how much service wreckage will there be?
(This assumes that the route is double track).
