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?

Oh yes! Good point.
