I've read a lot on the net about how Loughborough Junction SLL viaduct is far too high but it really doesn't seem that way looking at Google streetmaps. In fact there's a nice space for a station and opportunity to redevelop around a future station. Lets hope they don't mess up the chance to do it like elsewhere on the London Overground (like making it impossible to 4-track the WLL unless trains can be put through the corridor left for the WLT and some newish buildings get demolished at Stamford Bridge). The LO would need a proper funded investment plan for Loughboro' Jcn to become a reality and Brixton might go ahead instead of waiting for a developer to pay for it, unless they're afraid the vic will get even more passenger pressure (like Shoreditch HS and the Central).

This station would probably have to go if they ever doubled the line along this section (Old Kent Road has the space for it) but at least there's no particular station building to knock down - just a viaduct which won't likely be affected.
