Passenger to/from Battersea Park from the SLL will lose out as the
rerouted SLL service (that will go on from Peckham Rye to Nunhead and
terminate at Bellingham) will not stop at Battersea Park due to
platform lengthening on the other platforms (though this isn't really
anything to do with the ELLX & Thameslink interplay). I think a good
number of SLL pax using Battersea Park were changing to get trains to
Clapham Junction bound trains, so these passengers will in future be
able to go direct to Clapham Junction on the ELLX trains.

The loss of Battersea Park calls would also make impossible my father's
old rail commute from Putney to KCH, changing between Queen's Road
Battersea (as it was then) and Battersea Park. Anyone doing that in
future would have to use buses for at least part of the journey.

Surely anyone doing that commute could just change at Clapham Junction for
the East London Line?
