Interesting routings this Sunday due to closures.
Victoria to Swanley, calling at Denmark Hill, Shortlands, Bromley South, Bickley, St Mary Cray and Swanley. 465, 2tph.
I wonder if semi-fast services like this could utilise the Catford route a bit better. It could remove stops on the Orpington (via Herne Hill) slows at Shortlands and Bickley from 2 of the 4tph? And St Mary Cray/Swanley do seem to get a lot of longer distance stops.
Equally if it went to Orpington or Sevenoaks and terminated, Petts Wood could be dropped from 2 of the Herne Hill slows, and help to accelerate that route.
The slows stopping on the inner lines at Shortlands must be especially desirable to reduce...
