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.


Would that be why the Watford-Brighton service, which also uses
platform 16 (?), is being dropped ?


Eh? Silverlink's West London Line trains currently terminate in platform
2, right the other end of the station. The plan is to relay the track in
platform 1 and use that too.
