Looking at all the evidence so far, the 'battering' of the service

the definition...


It does sound good (although not mentioning connections south) but I
suspect that it is sufficiently out of date not to be worth paying too
much attention to. A lot has happened in "a couple of years", not
least the election of a new Mayor, a major recession and some dodgy
deals*. I don't simply take the word of the local campaigners either,
who mention the reduction in service to LB (and Charing Cross) and
lack of connections south, but don't mention the ELL, but I recognise
that they have some justification for cynicism.

I guess we'll know soon enough when the timetable comes out.


The timetables for Mon 24th May are starting to creep into the various
journey planners now.
A search for times from Sydenham to New Cross gate on SN's website
produced
these, continuing to either London Bridge (SN) or Dalston Junction (LO):

Typical Peak Hour:

08:01 08:11 LO starts Crystal Palace
08:06 08:16 LO starts West Croydon
08:09 08:19 SN starts ??? via Norwood Jn
08:14 08:24 LO starts Crystal Palace
08:18 08:28 SN starts Victoria, via Crystal Palace
08:22 08:32 LO starts West Croydon
08:28 08:38 SN starts ??? via Crystal Palace
08:31 08:41 LO starts Crystal Palace
08:36 08:46 LO starts West Croydon
08:39 08:49 SN starts ??? via Norwood Jn
08:44 08:54 LO starts Crystal Palace
08:47 08:57 SN starts ??? via Crystal Palace
08:51 09:01 LO starts West Croydon
08:54 09:04 SN starts Victoria, via Crystal Palace

Typical Off Peak Hour, LO origins alternate as befo

10:01 10:11 LO
10:06 10:16 LO
10:12 10:22 SN starts ??? via Norwood Jn
10:16 10:26 LO
10:21 10:31 LO
10:24 10:34 SN starts Victoria, via Crystal Palace
10:31 10:41 LO
10:36 10:46 LO
10:42 10:52 SN starts ??? via Norwood Jn
10:46 10:56 LO
10:51 11:01 LO
10:54 11:04 SN starts Victoria, via Crystal Palace

I'm having dificulty pinning down where some of the SN services start from
unfortunately, maybe they just start at Norwood Jn?


Caterham?
