I've got a more basic question: why is it that the trains from Brixton overground terminate at Victoria? I've always thought that if Waterloo-bound trains made a stop at Brixton, more people would use the overground. Never understood why it replicates the underground route. Be handy for the West End, too.
Until Eurostar built a connection just after Wandsworth Road station, as far as I know there was no physical connection between Brixton and Waterloo.
Even if it did go to Waterloo, I doubt many would use it. It only has trains every 30 mins and it's a bit of a badlands area, even in the day.
Most people would still use the tube.
