The line was therefore to continue the Kingston branch through Norbiton, and to burrow under the LSWR main line near the present-day New Malden. The line would then continue independently alongside the main line on its south side, to Wimbledon station. At Wimbledon it would join the Tooting, Merton and Wimbledon Railway, when it opened. That was to be jointly owned between the LSWR and the LBSCR, and to run as far as Streatham Junction. From there the LSWR got running powers over the LBSCR as far as a planned Knights Hill Junction, near the present Tulse Hill station. The LCDR was building a short connecting line from Knights Hill Junction to Herne Hill, which gave access over the LCDR to Ludgate Hill. The running powers also got the LSWR the facility of getting goods trains to and from Deptford Wharf on the LBSCR.Jackson, pages 340 to 342
