This is equivalent of the expected result of a power failure at Jaimaica, multiplied by three or four.

 

Clapham Junction is really impressive in terms of the amount of traffic and diversity of routes through it. In addition to through trains (mostly through trians) there are terminating service there too, the North London Line of London Overground. I used to commute through Clapham Junction from London Waterloo to Bracknell or Winnersh Traingle on the Reading Line, while visiting USL and then Novell's and finally HP BCS's UK operations back in the late '80s and early '90s.
