Some of these are in London.

"London Charing Cross at 0015 to Tonbridge via Beckenham Junction, Tuesdays to Saturdays only (return at 0449 from Tonbridge to London Charing Cross via Beckenham Junction, Mondays to Fridays only). These use the curve between Beckenham Junction and New Beckenham"

By coincidence I managed to unexpectedly travel between New Beckenham and
Beckenham Junction on Saturday 11th March.

I was waiting for a Hayes train at Lower Sydenham, and noticed Beckenham
Junction on the platform display. I was in no rush so decided to go on a
detour...

It was the 1347 Charing Cross to Hayes service, which was 13 minutes late
at Lower Sydenham and diverted to Beckenham Junction and terminated in the
bay platform, returning as a 1456 service to Charing Cross. (I was the only
passenger on the return train until New Beckenham)
