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!

What are the improvements to the NLL? £91M doesn't seem to by much
these days so it can't be much of an improvement.

It should be for:
- signalling enhancements
- improved power supply
- new "resilience measures" to counter late-running freight services - I
think this just means a new/reinstated freight loop
- platform extensions for 6-car trains where necessary
- frequency doubling to 8tph

I'm not sure how they are squeezing the £91m for those measures, but
that's what it's for.
