It was bad enough when we lost our daytime off-peak services to CX which I think was back in 1995/96 when Connex took over the franchise, although the pain was lessened when we got the metro style service of 6ph to London Bridge.

With the new Oyster pay as you go prices being announced, it's more than likely I'll continue to use Southern services to London Bridge to go to work instead of the Overground as it'll be cheaper than using the TfL services.

On the other hand, trips to Croydon will be much easier when we get 6ph to Croydon (2 EC, 4 WC) instead of getting the 197 bus which takes ages.
