Default Improvements to the North London Line

And Heaven forbid that we should spend any money south of the river, after
all we have the South Circular to keep us happy (well occupied anyway)!

What about some improvements to the South London Line? Reinstating a
station at Brixton (with platform level interchange to the main line)
would be a start!


This is being considered as part of the second phase of the East London
Line project, but it would cost an absolute fortune; the previous station
on the SLL at Brixton was halfway to Loughborough Junction, and
constructing new platforms at Brixton itself would be extremely difficult.
It would probably cost about £70m just by itself.
