Or, for those preferring a slicker interface with wee pictures of the

Linton mentions an idea i hadn't heard before, of extending the ELL
from CJ to Wimbledon via the Wimbledon branch of the District line.
There's some capacity available there, clearly, but how do you get
from CJ to East Putney? Doesn't that mean sharing tracks with Windsor
line trains? Isn't that a terrible idea?


In 2000 or so, track utilisation on the Windsor lines was very low (peak
service of 6tph on each of the 4 tracks between Barnes and Waterloo, IIRC)
and I don't think much has changed since.
