However, the Nat Rail journey planner is still showing the services as cancelled! Just looking at live departures for West Croydon and Crystal Palace, what seems to have happened is that they have got calls at DALSJN appearing followed by Dalston Jn [cancelled]. I think that has come up before somewhere else, and the automatic systems got confused because the same location appeared twice? Whatever, it probably just needs a simple data correction to put it right... Seems OK today. Paul S |

At least they don't claim to apologise personally. Then again, I'd rather hear it from Phil Sayer than the dystopian computer voice used at Manc Picc and all the LM stations. And I miss "Bletchley, this is Bletchley" with the classic RP voice, though it was a lightning strike that killed that well before LM had anything to do with anything.

The football ground is nowhere near Crystal Palace; the nearest station to it is Selhurst. The club did actually play at Crystal Palace at some time in the distant past. I think Millwall actually had their ground in Millwall many decades ago as well. |

I dispute your characterisation that Selhurst Park is "nowhere near" [the area known as] Crystal Palace - but it's not in Crystal Palace, sure. A couple of miles from CP railway station - the nearest stations are Selhurst itself and Norwood Junction, both more or less equidistant from the ground. I think Millwall actually had their ground in Millwall many decades ago as well. They did. Moved across the river in 1910, three years before Arsenal moved the other way across the Thames. |

What about West Ham; what were they called, and where did they play, when they were associated with the Thames Iron Works? Didn't one London club, Wimbledon was it, move to Milton Keynes or somewhere a few years ago? I seem to remember something about it on the news. |
