Due to engineering work, on 17th March there will be a special service running between London Victoria and Bromley North, via Hither Green.

I think it is some time since the Bromley North branch saw direct services ?

There were a handful when I last used the station to commute in 1980-ish, so it's a good 30 years.

There was an article on London Reconnections about Bromley North a while back;

A reason behind the lack of direct London services is given

The Bromley North<>Victoria service often runs when Bromley South is inaccessible due to work, so it is isn't particularly long ago in that sense.

When the 376s were first introduced prior to regular diagraming the old Southeastern ran off-peak services from Bromley North - Canon Street.
