Cranbrook (Devon) has services from Sunday 17 May according to NRE.

Likewise for Newcourt on the Exmouth branch. I wonder if they are only listed as having services from that date due to it being the first day of the summer timetable, rather than that actually being the opening date.

28th March 2015

Abbey Road
All Saints

Beckton Park
Brondesbury
Brondesbury Park

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury
Canonbury
Custom House for ExCel (the index in my Baker suggested I hadn't done it, but the page itself had it coloured. So I'm not sure if it was an error originally so done it to be certain!)
Cutty Sark
Crossharbour
Cyprus

Deptford Bridge

Elverson Road

Finchley Road & Frognal

Gallions Reach
Greenwich

Heron Quays

Island Gardens

Kensal Rise

London City Airport (the index of my Baker said I'd done it but it hadn't been coloured on the relevant page, so done it to be 100% sure this time, easy to make errors after all when rushing through the ticking process!)

Mudchute

Prince Regent
Pudding Mill Lane

Royal Albert

Shadwell
South Quay
Star Lane
Stratford High Street

Wapping
Westferry (last DLR shack to do!)
West India Quay

YTD: 136

My Baker looks healthier now, although this trip didn't focus on shack scratching as much as was originally planned. To be fair some of the ones I was going to do can wait until I can also score 700s at the same time, and I did want to get my 313 requirements down a lot too so couldn't do everything! Not a bad result for Q1 2015 either to be fair, bring on the rest of the year's trips!

London Overground South London line is done with 3 stations left between New Cross Gate & Sydenham to get. Would have got South Bermondsey as well, if it wasn't for the football. My focus will shift towards the North London Line and other SWT stations within the zones.

I can't believe you've only just done Earlsfield, shocking for a SWT man!

I need most of the shacks around the Sutton loop, although I'm also happy to wait until the 700s start running to get those done. One handy way of doing the 700s there without resorting to doing insect leaps in The Core!
