Default Diversion of the South London Line from London Bridge

Trains to London Bridge were overcrowded before the Jubilee existed.
If the assumption is that the final destination is London Bridge, then
arriving at the deepest platforms via Canada Water is a much worse
option that just walking across the concourse from a direct, one-stop
train.

In practice, I don't think London Bridge is a very popular final
destination, but many people will want the Northern Line, the City or
Charing Cross. Only people travelling to Westminster, Bond Street etc
(fairly new journey options) will be relatively uninconvenienced.

The point was made that there is a fair amount of direct traffic between
King's College Hospital, close to Denmark Hill station, and Guy's
Hospital, close to London Bridge.
