I work very close to LB, so the idea of getting on the Jubilee line at LB to travel to Canada Water, to then change onto the Overground just seems daft.

I went to Bath for work the other day. There were bad delays in the morning outbound (but GW trains service for delayed passengers was far superior it must be said). On the way back though, it took me longer to get from Paddington to HOP than it did from Bath to Paddington, thanks to another signal failure at LB.

I got to LB, saw that the 1821 was cancelled, with no hope of anything out until 1853. My next thought was go to NXG and change. But no, nothing stops their either for that 30 minute period. So I worked out it would be marginally quicker to go out to Norwood Junct and come back in.

The NWD train goes through every station on the way, and passes by the platform at NXG anyway. Wouldn't an idea be to stop the NWD fast trains additionally at NXG, to enable interchange onto the Overground here and minimise congestion at Canada Water, whilst still not having to increase trains into LBG?
