As someone who grew up in Battersea, I applaud you for letting people know that Clapham Junction is NOT in Clapham!! 👏👏👏

The common theme in this series: “junction” stations that aren’t in the town they’re named after.

Clapham North and Common remind me of the Glasgow Subway, which is routinely navigated by people under the influence.

A good video my friend! And a nice theme - scope for more perhaps? You truly are the new Geoff Marshall! I actually set foot in Clapham for the first time ever in June. Visited the wonderful Studio Voltaire. I was surprised how close Claphams Common and North stations were. BTW - you should increase the value of your top tier Patreon membership: I'd gladly buy you a cheeky meal deal each month.... 😃

Surely... Clapham High Street - Clapham Junction - Vaux... Water... oh yeah... hold on.. Got it! Waterloo NR/Waterloo and City Line (no barriers) - Bank - London Bridge - Clapham North/Common/South

Barriers at Bank on the W&C, I'm pretty sure?

@@SomeoneExplores each NR platform (the non-ex-eurostar ones at least) have stairs half way down and a corridor to the W&C line entrance , without barriers and only have side readers if needed, does it count as an OSI I don't know. The W&C at Bank has a route without needing to get through barriers (which can be closed due to various reasons and then you have to do an OSI)

@@SomeoneExplores I did check online and they were added a few years ago. you could have gone via Balham though, if that doesn't have barriers between NR/TFL

Lovely video, I really enjoyed it. I went to school in Clapham South, tube from Elephant and Castle every day. That was 60 years ago (I know, I can't believe it either). There were no other tubes, no Overground, just a weird network of lines and stations. Seeing Denmark Hill and Loughborough Junction brings back distant, teenage memories. Keep up the good work

Unusual and different video.. Geoff M will probably know the explanation for the thin platforms dangerous when very busy..

Many places in London have more than one station. If you do another video like this you could do Wimbledon next it has four stations. Wimbledon/Wimbledon Park/Wimbledon Chase/South Wimbledon.

Those platforms at Clapham North are really thin, I'm quite tall, I wonder if I were to lie down, would my head and feet touch both sides of the platform?
