That may be what you want but the OP thinks that new services from Catford will reduce demand on FH - London Bridge. Not good for Forest Hill/Honor Oak and a campaign tactic that uses sacrificing our line to boost theirs.

There is limited capacity and we're in competition. At the moment we're getting overlooked and a proposed inferior service. Forest Hill is much the busier station and the Forest Hill/Sydenham corridor much the busier route. The priority for Southern are long distance commuters. They spend more.


We know for a fact that it will reduce demand on your services.

Currently there are just two trains an hour on the Catford Loop - the same as London to Edinburgh or Paris.

From our research, we know that many users simply cant get on the services at Crofton Park because they are simply too over crowded and so people walk to Honor Oak Park or Brockley to use those services instead where there are 12 trains an hour including the London Overground.

We absolutely believe in protecting your services too - and we are in competition as we are on completely different routes as we are served by different operators.
