When BD first came to London the Crystal Palace loop service did not exist. Then it was reintroduced, maybe 15 years ago, but did not run in rush hour, then they introduced this as well. So he could get out to Feltham to get to Heathrow, or down to the South Coast and New Forest. Without having to go into town, and cheaper fares. It would be a shame if this service did go. As he posted many a time on the who needs the ELL ext, well at least his interpretation of it.

Prior to this he used to do the out to East Croydon and back, but once got set upon by some ticket collectors who told him it wasn't allowed on a normal FH to town ticket

BD, not in the slightest bit interested in being linked to Dalston, and still enjoying the special status of not being on the tube
