Football Specials 27/05/13 ???

Would it be possible for London Overground to run specials from Wembley Central to Crystal Palace/Norwood Junction for the Play-Off match at Wembley?

After the game there were a couple of specials from Wembley Central to Watford Junction stopping en route at Bushey and Watford High Street.

Southern has taken out the Wembley Central stop on the Milton Keynes to South Croydon train, presumably because if overcrowding?

Just seems a lot of messing around changing for Palace friends just to cross London?
I suppose they don’t care now as they won!

Probably. Those trains are already severely overcrowded at most times of
day.

Shame really that these services didn't stop at Wembley, as for once both sets supporters could have used it in both directions.

When it's 4 cars once an hour already full and standing I can see the
problem. Needs to be 8 or 12 cars at least half hourly, and that's without
the footy fans.
