Default East London Line extension news

Phase 2 would also include Surrey Quays to Clapham Junction, replacing
South London Line services. It hasn't been said what alternative
arrangements would be made for travellers from Wandsworth Road to any
central London station. All other SLL stations seem to have alternative
services to the ones they would lose.



Lose what services?

Look at the map on the webpage given.

Or if your newsreader wraps lines, try

Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street are shown as National Rail
interchange stations, which sorta implies that the South London Line
services will continue (I don't know of any other NR services which
use those stations)

What route will the trains take to get from the SLL to clapham Jn?


I wonder if they plan to stop other NR services at Wandsworth Rd and
Clapham High St to substitute for the lost SLL services (I read that
someone mentioned replacing SLL services in phase 2 - but I can't
remember where!).

From the SLL to Clapham Junction, they'd use the curve that already
exists from Wandsworth Road, arriving into the platform where
Silverlink's West London Line trains currently terminate.
