Default Catford question

Just out of curiosity... Does walking from Catford Bridge to Catford
(or vice versa) count as a valid interchange on a NR/Southeastern
ticket? Or if you wanted to go from (e.g.) Elmer's End to Swanley
would you be expected to go the long way round and change at Lewisham
and Peckham Rye?

Yes, done it loads of times.

The area can be quite lively at night though...

Nobody knows. Where and when you are alloawed to walk when on a
Permitted Route is one of the great unanswered questions.


Sort of.

However, Catford Bridge to Catford is sort of shown on one of the maps,
and I think it would be accepted as part of a "shortest route" if it
made the route significantly shorter.

In fact, the NR "London Connections" map shows the two stations
as "Interchange Stations" joined by a thick black line (although
they are one or two hundred yards apart, along a main road, and
one is on a line under that road and the other on a line over
the road, so a lot of stairs are involved; allow *at least* five
minutes). I have never seen a ticket inspector at either, and
there are no gates, so the question is moot.
