I'd put my money on integrating and testing of the junction signalling for
the SLL connection.

I would agree - especially as the power to the third rail is due for
switch on soon so it makes sense to do the signalling integration now
to reduce the need for electrical isolations over a wider area in
future. *I wonder if the junction near Queens Rd Peckham is also
signalled in.

What are the names of the new junctions for this line?

The Network Rail end of the re-opened spur is definitely Old Kent Rd Jn.

Can't confirm the other from a source document, as it isn't on NR
infrastructure - but it usually is referred to as Deptford Rd Jn, although I
don't see such a named road there nowadays?

Er... Ignore that, I've now found a note in Quail Vol 5 to it being the
future 'Silwood Junction'.

(I hadn't even thought it might be in there, as it was well into the future
when the book came out...)

.... and that is the name finally chosen, with Old Kent Road Junction
at the other end.

Although not Network Rail infrastructure, it is closely related, and
appears in the NR sectional appendix, etc.

Thanks Phil.

I found a few photos on flickr of the relevant junction, it seems that
bowroaduk's images might pin down the time the decision was made?

Was Deptford Rd Jn the LU name for the unused junction site?
