There is a mention that extending towards Clapham Junction will help with
a
'future orbital rail project', presumably this will mean reversal at CJ
and
up via Kensington Olympia etc? Does the track layout at CJ allow for this
eventuality without huge changes?

Trains would run from the ELL via the new spur from Surrey Quays to the SLL
at Old Kent Road, then via the SLL to Wandsworth Road, then Factory
Junction, Culver Road Junction, to Clapham Junction platforms 1 (which would
be reinstated) and 2. Platform 2 is currently used by the Kensington Olympia
and Willesden Junction shuttle - it was also used a few years back when the
London Bridge - Victoria trains were diverted there (by the above route)
when the route through Battersea Park was temporarily unavailable.
