One delightful idiosyncrasy is that to get to Sutton direct from
Blackfriars you take a train indicated to Wimbledon, and vice versa.

This is one of these cases where the departure boards at Blackfriars
should probably lie about the destination, by giving 'St Helier via
Sutton' and 'Morden South via Wimbledon' (or whatever pair of stations
works out to be the best advice) as the destinations.


They do something similar with the Cambridge slows at KX, giving
"Foxton" as the destination (last station before Cambridge).


Rather irritatingly, this is not done consistently. I have been at
Kings Cross where a stopper has been advertised as Cambridge, when an
Ely train overtakes it (about a month ago). I don't know how they
determine which trains to advertise as Foxton and which as Cambridge.
