Just wondering how the service is being used in the morning peak at the
moment, as I haven't been in London before mid day at all since the
preview began, and it's gone a bit quiet on the subject here...


Are there signs of many passengers having gone back to changing onto the
ELL at NX or NXG, as pre conversion, ie when it was an LU line?


Just looking at the full service from later this month
http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%...s/Table178.pdf
and it appears that, in the down direction (?) Peckham Rye and Queens Road
Peckham have swapped places. The timings, where shown, make sense but....


Am I missing something?


No, thats another error spotted I think.


There have been a few previous posts highlighting that table 178 is borked
(in terms of sorting left to right on departure timings) but I don't think
your findings have been mentioned before...


Is it an error, or an attempt at something fairly impossible?

Peckham Rye is before both Queens Road and Denmark Hill depending on
whether the train is heading for London Bridge or Blackfriars, and
that seems to be what they've tried to show.

I think the mistake may have been more in the attempt than in the
execution.


No - take another look. If the column were to read (as it should)...

London Bridge
....
South Bermondsey
Queen's Rd Peckham
Peckham Rye
Denmark Hill
London Blackfriars

....it would make sense - it works because London Bridge and
Blackfriars (and indeed Victoria) are at different ends of the table
(i.e. the top and towards the bottom).
