AFAICT from previous announcements [and the SL RUS], from the May 23rd
changes these services split/join at Purley to reduce the numbers of
paths used into London Bridge.

However journey planners seem to show a change at Purley for all ex
Caterham services, wouldn't they normally show a service that joins
all the way through to a the final destination in 'public facing'
systems and printed timetables?

I expect that one of the trains will disappear from the 'internal
systems' at Purley, so this seems to be cockup rather than
conspiracy...

I don't think anything is changing. In the peaks they already split/join
at Purley. Off-peak the trains are separate, however it is quicker for
Caterham passengers to change at Purley onto a fast service rather than
stay on the all stations stopper.
