Default Cross-River Transit questions

Morning all,

The discussion of the Northern line got me looking at the Cross-River
Transit proposals again. If this works, i think it'd be excellent, but i
have to admit i'm skeptical about the practicality of an on-street system
along some of London's busiest roads.

But, looking at this map:

I wonder:

Have they got a convincing explanation of how they're going to do this
without getting fouled up in traffic?

Why does the King's Cross branch go the wrong way?

Why does the Brixton branch go via Lambeth North rather than Elephant?

Oh, and what is this 'London University' next to Euston, and isn't Albert
Square on the District line, not down south?
