Coming back from Holland yesterday, I was caught out by the fact that there were no Overground trains beyond Surrey Quays. I knew about the London Bridge closure but was unprepared for the Overground not to be running either. The replacement bus was running only to New Cross Gate where, I was told, I would have to change onto another. In the end, I waited for P12 which got me home, albeit very slowly. It is no lie in saying that at 2 hours 10 minutes, it took longer to get from St Pancras to Honor Oak Park than it had taken to to get to St Pancras from Brussels. Sadly, I was not surprised that someone thought it acceptable to deprive us of our trains completely .
