Wimbledon to London Bridge?
[Cross-posted to uk.railway, where answers may lie...]
"David Cantrell" wrote: I'm reading the new Sherlock Holmes story "The House of Silk" by Anthony Horowitz, and I'm very much afraid that he hasn't done his homework properly. He mentions a train service from Wimbledon to London Bridge in November 1890. I very much doubt that such a service existed, am I right? I'd like to check my facts before mentioning it in my book review! Certainly there is no such service now, and while the route was *possible* (Wimbledon to Clapham Junction then onto the inner South London Line and thence to London Bridge via Peckham Rye) I can't see why it would exist, given that Wimbledon to Waterloo is so much shorter and quicker, and Waterloo is so close to London Bridge anyway. Does anyone have a Bradshaw and can check for me? |
