It's been a few years.

I know that Horowitz is famous for his research and my belief when this thread was started was that he chose Wimbledon to London Bridge specifically because it was a lesser-known route. Was it a regular route in the 1890s?

There was a line connecting Waterloo and Waterloo East across the Waterloo
concourse then so direct trains could have run from Wimbledon to London
Bridge.

The obvious route would be via Tooting, all of which was I think built
by 1890.

The Breadshaw reprint for August 1887 shows a regular service via
Tooting, Tulse Hill and Peckham Rye. These include journeys via Hayden's
Lane and via Merton Abbey.

The Tooting, Merton & Wimbledon Railway & the reason that Tooting was
called Tootin Junction.
