Not bad at all. Much better than Transport Direct certainly.

Good Points
Very fast
Simple to use
Shows detail on train facilities (buffet, first class etc)
Shows full Train Descriptions (1A23 etc)
Shows detailed fare information

Bad Points
Limited range of locations (not many bus stations, no postcode lookup)
Doesn't know LUL fares
Doesn't know fares which include underground. I tried a Hertfordshire -
South London journey, and it gave directions via the Victoria Line with
interchange at Brixton (Vic is much better), and separate fares to
Finsbury Park, and from Brixton - you can get a single ticket including
the undergound.

Trying a trip to a South London location which I suspect is not
dissimilar to yours, I notice that it has ye olde Tramlink times, not
the current ones.

Getting pedantic, It also gives a 12 min walk from East Croydon to
West Croydon, when I find that walking from George Street is slightly
faster than from East Croydon [with the new timetable the trams go to
West Croydon anyway, but for the end-to-end journey in question the
timetable granularity means that switiching to a 410 bus at Church St
is quicker].
