Surrey Canal station

I was a little surprised when the station at Surrey Canal Road was originally envisaged instead of reinstating Old Kent Road, which would provide station in an area poorly served by trains and convenient interchange with the Bakerloo line at Leo Street/Asylum Road. I know the proximity of Millwall FC. was a factor. Admittedly, cantilevered platforms would have to be added, but the viaduct formation adjacent to the Old Kend Road at this point is 3 tracks wide. Has this been reasoned elsewhere? The area was known as Hatcham on some maps and lost its trains due mainly to several competing tram routes in the Old Kent Road. Those disappeared 70 years ago.

Hmmm...New Bermondsey -- like "South Chelsea" for Battersea, it deserves adding to the list of Roy Brooks' fanciful property descriptions, it being over 2km from Bermondsey Jubiee Line and over 3km from Bermondsey Abbey. Gervase St. to the LB&SCR viaduct is abut 350m and well shorter than many other OSIs.There are now several points where Tfl and OG services cross or run in close proximity to now allied, erstwhile once competitors' lines. I'm just wondering if anyone has examined the potential of such interchanges of late. Some have been implemented e.g. Hackney Downs / Hackney Central. But the case in point seems to me to be a lost opportunity, as the area really could do with better railway connectivity.

The finest "Roy Brooks"-ism was St Ockwell

Not much point of investigating such interchanges as the Bakerloo Line Extension is not going to happen until the Bakerloo Line can get more/new trains (and possibly signalling)
