Hi, I'm traveling from Honor Oak Park onto St Pancras on Sunday 12/5 for Eurostar (fortunately a mid morning departure). Is there a schedule / frequency for rail replacement buses from Honor Oak to N...

Southern helping out today by having 4 coach trains which is not helpful when they are the only trains into London. But as they are not within London Transport I guess they don't have to co-operate r...

There is a case for giving the various branches of the Overground different colours and calling them Overground 1, 2 (or north, south etc). But my putting the various names there will be a lot of...

My question is why? The only thing I can think off is that it is seen as a problem for a single deck bus to turn left out of Honor Oak Park into Stondon Park. But its no worse than the left hand tur...

Seems a good idea, would be better if could go to West Croydon but still useful. Long as Southern don't it as an excuse to further reduce / remove service!

Post: RE: Upcoming Rail Engineering Works Update thread

Presumably the lack of Southern services at weekends is tied in with the work at Victoria? Or is it something else? Is there a risk that Southern on this line becomes weekday only?

Yes, I noticed it looks closed. Sadly, the energy crisis is likely to cut a swathe through local businesses, much more than the pandemic (where furlough helped).

Post: RE: September Southern Timetable changes

I suppose if it is a poor, slow service, fewer people will use it then Southern can cut the service on the basis that it isn't used. Wouldn't put it past them.
