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?

As another poster said, the platforms would be adjacent; however, whether
services actually run through from Wandsworth Road - CJ - Imperial Wharf
(& v.v.) is debatable; for reliability's sake, an Orbirail service may
just operate CJ - Willesden - Dalston - Peckham - CJ and return. The
Circle line is an indicator that circular routes crossing a variety of
junctions perform poorly, as without a proper terminus it is difficult for
them to regain lost time.

Do any existing services follow the basic route around south London, and
are there paths for the Phase 2 service?

Hasn't it been suggested that the Circle line could be binned without much
effect on passengers, but major improvements to the Met & District
reliability?
