A New Station For Clapham East

In the June 2016 Edition of Modern Railways, there was an article entitled Turning South London Orange.

One of the proposals in the article is to create a new station at Clapham East. The location is half a mile North-East of Clapham Junction station on the East London Line.

This Google Map shows the location.

Location Of Clapham East Station

Note Wandsworth Road station at the East of the map, with Clapham Junction station, off the map a short distance to the West.

I’m not too sure of the exact location of the proposed station but it would appear to be on the East London Line, where it runs along Eversleigh Road, close to the junction of Culvert Road.

These pictures were taken as my East London Line train passed through in the area.

This map from carto.metro.free.fr might help.

Lines Around Clapham East Station

The bridge in the pictures is where the lines from Victoria go over the East Lo0ndon Line to get to Clapham Junction station.

I think the station will be on the East London Line, which is shown in orange, just above the words “Pouparts Junction.

The Centre for London report, says that the area rather lacks a train service and that a station is needed.
