What does seem a major problem with NR Table 178 is that they seem to have

multiple branches at top and bottom (IYSWIM) is that the trains should be
ordered left to right by their timings through the common part of the route,
in this case just the section from New Cross Gate to Sydenham.

Agreed. For a new service it wouldn't have hurt to have its own diagram.
Indeed, on a quick scroll through a few hundred pages of it, I didn't
see any diagrams.
