What are needed, and I haven't seen any recent proposals, are platforms on
the Atlantic Lines at Brixton - it really is daft that South London Line
trains sail above the top of Brixton without stopping, and have done ever
since East Brixton station was closed in the 1960s (and if it hadn't been
closed then it would have fallen down).


Which would be better... adding platfors on the Atlantic Lines? Or
adding them on the line that's currently used (directly above the
existing station)?

And why don't they make Loughborough Junction a junction when they are
at it..... it seems silly to have a station called a "Junction" when it
isn't, but probably could be rather easily.


Just because the diverging trains don't actually stop there doesn't mean
it's not a junction!

Would there be the demand to make trains on the Eastern Curve stop? ISTR
Loughborough Junction only had a very limited service until recently.
