Clapham Junction is busy, busy, busy!

Clapham Junction is an amazing station.
Each day about 2,000 trains, most stopping, pass through the station, more than through any other station in Europe.
At peak times some 180 trains per hour pass through of which 117 stop.
Below is a view looking across the north side of the station taken from platform 2.

















All services from Waterloo, by South West Trains, and many from Victoria, by Southern and the Gatwick Express use the station as does the West London Line services of London Overground. 
There are seventeen platforms in total and one platform out of use. 
It seems likely that the East London Line extension to Clapham Junction will use this platform when the line is opened in May 2012.
