Platform 17 At Clapham Junction Station

I took these pictures at Clapham Junction station this morning.

 

Note.

  1. The double-platform 1/2 is the main platform for the London Overground at Clapham Junction station.
  2. Platform 1 handles trains from Stratford station via the North and West London Lines
  3. Platfom 2 handles trains from Dalston Junction station via the East and South London Lines
  4. I arrived today in Platform 2 from Whitechapel station.
  5. Platform 17 is decidedly curved.
  6. Platform 16, which is used by trains going the other way, is also curved.
  7. Both Platform 16 and 17 have lifts to the station’s main overbridge.

Currently, some minor upgrade work is being carried out on the station.

The Platform Layout At Clapham Junction Station

This map from CartoMetro shows the platform layout at Clapham Junction.

Note.

  1. Mildmay services from Stratford on the North and West London Lines are shown in blue and terminate in Platform 1.
  2. Windrush services from Dalston Junction on the South London Line are shown in red and terminate in Platform 2.
  3. Platform 17 is the Southernmost of the platforms at Clapham Junction.

Platforms are more or less numbered 1 to 17 from North to South.

How Long Did It Take Me To Walk Between Platforms 1 And 17?

It took me five minutes this morning, but the bridge wasn’t crowded.
