Thanks for that. I just have two more short questions if you don't
mind:

(2) With regards to the ELLX trains going from Clapham Junction and
continuing on as far as Dalston Junction - that sounds great - it
would finally make the Clapham Junction area excellent for commuting
to the City (Shoredtich station, which is walkable to the City). But
my question concerns the "Liverpool Street Station" spur that I see on
the map on Wikipedia. And it has this pictu

Would a commuter from Clapham Junction be able to go direct to
Liverpool Street station? Or would the commuter have to switch to
that spur that I see in that picture?

That picture is well out of date, [no doubt someone will shortly tell us
exactly when the track was lifted connecting the LU ELL to Liverpool St -
1970s?], the new build Overground ELL rises up to the east of the closed
Shoreditch station (pictured) and crosses the Liverpool Street lines on a
new high level approach, over the infamous GE19 bridge that collapsed last
year while being positioned.
