I haven't had much experience with the new timetable towards the London end as I usually travel between Potters Bar and WGC.
But travelled into Finsbury Park and its chaos. Tons of delays and cancellations and platform alterations. Horsham to Peterborough train seems to have failed at Finsbury...
I don't know how you got to the conclusion that the Sidcup line is the 'main line' to Dartford.
The stations on the Bexleyheath line are on average busier. Blackheath, Eltham, Welling & Bexleyheath all see above 2m/3m passengers a year versus only Hither Green, New Eltham, Sidcup.

Hadley Wood and it's low usage did not warrant an increase in services in my opinion. Would have liked the semi fast WGC-Moorgate service to call at Hatfield, Potters Bar, (skip Hadley Wood) New Barnet, Oakleigh Park, New Southgate, Finsbury Park then all stops.

Today's 17:58 stopping Kings Cross to Welwyn Garden City was operated by a pair of 365's, but I was under the impression that this service was operated by 313's. Was this a one-off or something that we can expect now? (Something to do with the 365/387 Fen line swap?)
Stopping at Alexandra...
Is the 1723 London Kings Cross to Royston operated by class 313's? Had a 6 car 313 (rammed if I may add) fly past me at Potters Bar half an hour ago. Never seen a class 313 not stop here.
