Pardon me if I'm cynical...the trains they're cancelling (17.24/18.24, or something similar) go to Crystal Palace only, and leave 3 minutes after the Victoria train, which also goes to FH, Sydenham etc and Crystal Palace. Of course they're empty - most people want to get home ASAP and cram onto the Victoria train, which also left from a more convenient platform (9 rather than the outer reaches of 15/16).

If the Crystal Palace train left before Victoria, it would have been packed.

I can't help wondering. Southern didn't time these trains so they could say "we tried running an extra train but there isn't the demand for it..." ....did they? Sorry if previous posts covered this
