One delightful idiosyncrasy is that to get to Sutton direct from
Blackfriars you take a train indicated to Wimbledon, and vice versa.


This is one of these cases where the departure boards at Blackfriars
should probably lie about the destination, by giving 'St Helier via
Sutton' and 'Morden South via Wimbledon' (or whatever pair of stations
works out to be the best advice) as the destinations.


There will be several stations for which the best train from Blackfriars
will be the next loop train regardless of direction. If they reduce the
service frequency enough, this would cover the entire loop, removing all
confusion. ;-)
