The former South London Metro platforms at Battersea Park station. This ostensibly closed in December 2010 when London Overground took over most of the South London Line from Queens Road Peckham to Wandsworth Road with trains then being diverted over a former freight link to Clapham Junction, thus ending the long-established Victoria to London Bridge service to much criticism. However, one track from Wandsworth Road into Battersea Park has been retained and, very occasionally, whenever LO trains are unable to serve Clapham Junction, they are diverted here over the former Victoria bound track, now bi-directional. This view is looking south-east on 17th May 2014.
