Between Queen's Road and South Bermondsey stations, the train traveller can see new track peeling off eastwards: the formation for what will become the London Overground line from Clapham Junction onto the old East London Line towards Highbury and Islington. The new line reinstates a former track, used when the East London line was a route for distributing goods to and from the Surrey Commercial Docks.
