Hi, nickyj. Welcome to the forum It might depend what time you're leaving FH in the morning. I usually get the train into London Bridge between 8.40 and 9 and it's not usually too bad. I'd say I get a seat about 7 days out of 10ish. And it's not too long a journey even if you're standing. Board the train any further in than FH, though (Honor Oak, Brockley) and you end up standing every morning. They're ok in terms of the reliability stakes - and if one is cancelled, at that time in the morning there's not long before another is due anyway. In the evening, I get on the train at LB at around 7.30 and crowding levels are fine.
