This study might have been triggered by recent announcement from Network Rail about the possibility of a full redevelopment of Clapham Junction station, involving the closure of the subway but going further and building a new deck over some of the tracks that could accommodate further development and substantially improve access to the station.
Escalator: When we had a meeting with Network Rail back in January , they explained that any new access resulting from a closure of the current subway currently the shortest way to join any platform should provide a broadly similar facility, minimising the time to access the platforms. And b ased on the recent development at London Bridge pictured above , escalators to the footbridge from a redeveloped concourse seem a reasonably likely approach. Decking the tracks: Building a deck above the tracks with buildings above is an increasingly popular option in situations where major railway stations need big upgrades to their capacity — and where space is constrained.
Speaking about Waterloo station last year, Network Rail stations director Norrie Courts said that a deck built could in the long term provide both development opportunities and congestion relief. Falcon Bridge: Last January we reported on the fact that nobody realy likes the Falcon Road railway bridge.
If not disappearing completely, the images show a complete make-over with new pillars. Tall buildings may be justified in this location [and] these would be best located towards the railway frontage to reduce their impact on the residential area of Mossbury Road, and the conservation area. OAK Trading which developed the Travelodge hotel at Falcon Rd objected that any new residential development above ground floor level would surely need south facing windows which could harm the amenity of the houses in Mossbury Road although there could be some mitigation by offering extension of existing properties by land purchase.
It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is a global view of the project, with below the corresponding map of the area as it is currently.

Because the different lines that serve those places use the same name and the same colour god it makes me so mad. The next questions are — how many lines should it be? And what should we call them all? A few years ago, in fact, TfL was considering doing, well, basically what I want it to: splitting the Overground into a handful of separate lines, and showing each of them on the tube map using different colour. That never happened, obviously — TfL concluded that the status quo was better, although god knows why.
Rumour is that then mayor Boris Johnson preferred being able to point to a big and growing Overground network, rather than a handful of individual lines, some of which are crap. For another, TfL used really boring names. Surely there are better names for them that that? The full London Overground map. Click to expand. Image: TfL. So here are my proposals for better names. Named after the Victorian engineer who designed the tunnel under the Thames it uses.
