OK this is way off topic but ......

I don't know.

The residents and politicians in Herne Hill lobbied hard for them to have the Thameslink through-service from Sutton to the City and St Pancras. (TFL originally planned for the Sutton service to terminate at Blackfriars, following the London Bridge upgrade) I believe there was a route via Forest Hill that was originally favoured for the through-service because of the longer platform lengths. The Herne Hill route I think can only take a maximum of eight carriages.

The rail link I am looking forward to is Crossrail at Whitechapel, which Forest Hilliers will be able to get to on the Overground.

Coming back to road traffic management, I wonder what architects and engineers could come up with if they were given an open brief to reduce noise pollution and air pollution?

How pathetic is it that GLA politicians bleat about air pollution, but the London Taxi fleet is STILL RUNNING ON DIESEL. LPG has been around for decades and LNG has never been cheaper. Are they asleep?

How much would the NHS save on sleeping pills alone, if noise pollution was reduced on roads?
