For the record, I'll copy and paste the relevant bits below:

* Southern
Boxing Day - limited service between Victoria and Brighton, London
Bridge to East Croydon via Norwood Junction and London Bridge and
East Croydon via Selhurst.

That has to be London *Victoria* and East Croydon via Selhurst.

The train service database seems to think that there is a Sutton-West
Croydon-Selhurst-Balham stopping service, an East Croydon-Crystal
Palace-Balham stopping service and a Brighton-Victoria service with calls
at Selhurst and Streatham Common. A rail replacement bus service runs
Balham - Wandsworth Common - Clapham Jn - Battersea Park - Victoria.


As I made clear in my post on utl, the text I copied and pasted (which is
shown above) came from a still extant BBC London webpage which detailed
*last year's* festive period rail services - i.e. 2009/2010. At the time of
writing that post, NRE had not yet put up their guide to xmas/new year rail
travel for this year (2010/2011) - though they appear to have done so this
morning (see my separate uk.r post on this).

I have no idea whether or not the Selhurst service mentioned above went into
London Bridge last year, as the text on the BBC webpage states, or whether
that was a mistake and it went into Victoria.

The aforementioned BBC London webpage for last year is he
