I think the only other sections of road that seem to have a higher number of
routes than the A23 Brixton-Streatham must be the A215 Walworth Road or
Oxford Street.


Even still, it's pretty squashed trying to travel between the two
centres in the rush hours. I dread what will happen if the CRT ever
becomes reality and another mode of transport empties out at Brixton!


If you're lucky, Croydon Tramlink will head up to Brixton after serving
Thornton Heath Pond and Streatham. It's not that likely though... I hear
that fitting trams down Streatham High Road would be a nightmare,
although I've never been there myself.

Would improved frequencies on overground rail lines or the mooted
extension of the Victoria line to Herne Hill help matters?
