On the South London Line between Wandsworth Road and Peckham there are two sets of running lines.
I gather the southernmost pair (ie, the pair on the right if you are heading from Wandsworth Rd to Peckham, and the pair which pass through the platforms at Clapham High Street and go over the high level bridge at Brixton) are known as the "Atlantic Lines".
Does anyone know why this is? I've wondered whether it's because they cross over Atlantic Road in Brixton, although this seems a bit tenuous.
