The 08.31 is a lovely train - long, usually one of the brand new ones, and yes, pretty empty. Which means all the people on the later stations can get on too - it's not just us that are going to suffer from the loss of that one, but those in Brockley and New Cross Gate, who sometimes struggle to get on the 8.21 (which I think comes from Victoria and is thus pretty busy even at FH).

It's also the last train I can take and still get to work on time. Guess I'm going to have to get out of bed a bit earlier from the new year...
