The area is very complex, with many routes crossing each other. And
the Eastern entry to London Bridge consist in a long, large viaduct,
that has  up to 12-13 tracks...


It would be simpler to put all that underground, with dive-unders and
fly-overs, than to try to eliminate flat junctions while retaining the
aging viaduct.

Together with Clapham Jct, the area between London Bridge and
Bermondsey/Lewisham is the most complex in Britain.

Frankfurt 21 or Stuttgart 21?

That could indeed be an idea...

For those more accustommed to rural areas, a tour through Northern
England using one of those dreadful Pacers would be a better option...
