Thanks. Looks like Deptford Park (Surrey Canal Road) is not getting
built at all!

New Bermondsey Shirley ? It seems to be dependant on if/when the
related development gets finished (or even started). This month's
start date seems to be some time next year.

Thanks. I still thinks it's a bad idea... they should build a station
instead where the Surrey Quays - New Cross Gate line crosses Surrey
Canal Road[*], and maybe put platforms on the London Bridge to Deptford
/ New Cross lines as well, and abandon the ELL New Cross branch. This
would improve interchange, and the site would be equidistant from
existing stations instead of around the corner from South Bermondsey.
