thank you.

Just to be clear, are there any trains northbound this Sunday from Forest Hill? We need to get to Wembley on Sunday, and Google Maps suggests a Southern train to New Cross Gate, then taking the Overground to Canada Water and the Jubilee line up to Wembley. But I'm wondering whether that convoluted route is so that we can get a rail replacement bus from Forest Hill to New Cross Gate? Thanks!

No trains at all on Sunday. You need to catch the bus to New Cross Gate and then board the Overground there. You may want to consider using Catford Bridge instead where trains operate every 30 minutes.

Got it - thanks. I've never used the rail replacement service to New Cross. Do you know where the stop is to get on in the direction of New Cross Gate?

According to National Rail Enquires you need Stop E (the 122 bus stop) in Dartmouth Road, which is where the dentist is (formerly Barclays) for New Cross Gate. (Drivers have been known to pick up from London Road instead, so be aware if it doesn't stop there, go there instead).

Stop B (the 185, 356 stop) is used for buses towards West Croydon.
