Wimbledon to London Bridge?

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? There is a service from Wimbledon to London Bridge, at least at weekends. The FCC service via the Sutton loop goes from Wimbledon to Haydons Road, Tooting, Streatham, Tulse Hill, Herne Hill and thence to London Bridge. There is no direct route from Herne Hill northbound to London Bridge. You mean Wimbledon, ..., Tulse Hill and thence to London Bridge. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
