I remember the semi-fast peaks from London Bridge. They were largely Guildford services which called at New Cross Gate, Forest Hill, Sydenham and Norwood Junction before all stops to Guildford in the evening peaks.
The morning peak service was from from Dorking, Epsom or Guildford.
The...
The tannoy volume is considerably lower since the switch to Worldline at Forest Hill. I'm assuming it's down to residential complaints from the recent residential builds that are opposite or next to the station.
TfL have confirmed that there will be a one-off London Overground service to London Bridge on Easter Sunday, operating 2tph between London Bridge and West Croydon.
Driver training will be on Sunday 25th February.
(4tph will operate between Sydenham and New Cross Gate with a shuttle to Crystal...
The ELL extension in South London is on the TfL/LU scale. I understand NR Zone 2 fares charged on the northern part of the ELL core if travelling from a station north of Hoxton to Whitechapel, Shadwell and Wapping for stations in Zone 2 because of the Zone 1 island at Shoreditch High Street...
I imagine the 2tph shuttle service between New Cross Gate and Crystal Palace was barely used yesterday? (It continues until Thursday and then goes up to 4tph with those going to West Croydon on Friday).
I remember what is now Zone 3 being part of the Outer zone for buses as East Dulwich was split between Inner and Outer. North of Goose Green including East Dulwich Station was in Inner and the retail area in Outer. Later it was split between 2 and 3.
The Goose Green bus stops were 2/3 when...
The fact Woolwich has 8m justifies why a station was built there when apparently it was originally going to be fast from Custom House to Abbey Wood.
If you build a direct fast service into Central London and Canary Wharf from those two parts of SE London which for decades have been...
I certainly used it more once the JLE opened because of the cheaper TfL only fares from New Cross Gate. If I was in Lewisham and wanted to go into the West End, instead of using Southeastern to Charing Cross, I'd bus it up to New Cross Gate and then use the ELL/JLE.
Now I use the ELL all the...
I seem to recall the ELL was 5tph to New Cross and 4tph to New Cross Gate off-peak in the noughties.
As I'm local enough to have used the old LU line from childhood, I remember when it had D stock on it in the late 80s before the A60/62 stock returned.
Erith. I used to commute from there at night and you'd find teenagers mucking about, crossing the live rail rather than use the footbridge and the lack of staffing made it intimidating. The whole Greenwich branch bar Abbey Wood is grim no thanks to the lack of staffing by Southeastern.
I also...
