Default Claphan Junction Disused platform 1

Yes, IIRC it was the original departure platform for services leaving
via the West London line (originally just to Kensington, but later there
were a number of others, such as the LSWR's roundabout route from
Clapham Junction to Richmond via Kensington and Hammersmith).

Trains would arrive at platform 2, detrain, and then pull into the
carriage sidings to the west of the station, where the engine could run
round the carriages and then pull back into platform 1 for departure.


Is this platform planned to be brought into use by TfL as part of any
new Overground services to Clapham Junction?
