Completely different commute for me than for seeformiles to London Bridge on Southern. Having followed Michael's advice I take the 7:14 which has a lot of seats instead of the 7:23 and I have managed to get on the 18:51 and get a seat more often in the last couple of weeks than I have ever been even able to get on in the last 5 years. I used to have to take the 19:05 as the 18:51 used to be rammed sometimes even 7/8 minutes before departure. Of course I wonder how much the half term has had an impact so I am still giving it a few weeks to see what happens overwise I will be reverting to the 19:06. The train I am missing though is the 19:45, as once a week I have physio at London Bridge Hospital which finishes at 19:30. Now I have to wait till 19:54 for the next train. Taking the overground instead would not take me home any quicker (19min) than waiting till the 19:54 which still takes 11min to HOP. So that's so far the only downside beside having to leave the house 10min earlier in the morning (but then being assured[/quote] a seat everytime).
