Loughborough Junction - Brixton Curve

[fireincairo]

Does anyone know how to look up if any regular trains pass over the Loughborough Junction to Brixton Curve?

I can only think that the curve is used for stock movements or freight?

Thanks

Loughborough Jn to Canterbury Road Jn closed to passengers in 1917 IIRC, and I don't think has been used regularly by anything other than ECS since the old Snow Hill lines closed in the 60s. Previously there were parcels trains and some coal traffic.

However, as ComUtoR implies (and I hadn't realised), the line sometimes carries Thameslink services in the wee small hours.

I managed to get it covered on a late night Saturday service when the line south of Loughborough Junction was closed for engineering works.

Indeed, night trains often use this route. Only Brighton TL drivers sign it (and the odd Blackfriars driver I believe)

It's also been used a few times during the day when the route between Loughborough Junction and Tulse Hill has been blocked.
