It was managed by Silverlink previously. LU only took over the

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought it went LU before the LO
takeover, but the announcement could have been well in advance of
it happening.


I'm puzzled by that because I thought it was handed over to LU at BR
privatisation, like East Putney to Wimbledon Park definitely were.


I guess the difference was that the only passenger services that called at
East Puney/Southfields/Wimbledon Park were LU, whereas both Silverlink Metro
and LU served Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens.

you can see the Silverlink-style station name plate at Kew Gardens.
