Ducking and dodging passengers getting off the southbound trains, etc. At least there's really nothing to be confused about entering and leaving the station!
I'm not entirely sure there'd be space at that station to expand the tunnel like they did at Angel (although there's a small section of the abandoned 'express' Northern Line through Clapham, so maybe...)

Which brings me on to this rather lovely little documentary.
