I am not surprised at it being 2 trains per hour and I fear that 4 trains per hour into London Bridge is now history. Also our line will I suspect continue to be the first line to be pulled for hot/cold weather or any other reason - they will point at the Overground.

Interesting that they have decided to go for the Victoria route rather than East Croydon.

If you are flying from Gatwick and have heavy luggage or mobility impaired then Norwood Junction is a poor interchange as has no lifts. You might even consider going into London Bridge / lifts and getting the trains to Gatwick from there.
