update from Network Rail on capacity benefits to come from the above improvements.
update from GTR on:
-why an increase in services in the morning peak between Streatham Hill and London Bridge via Tulse Hill need to be accompanied by a reduction of services elsewhere, ie. in terms of capacity reduction from Streatham Common to London Bridge?
