I've been getting the Overground from NXG for the past few weeks & was interested to see how much busier it would be today. And the answer is - not much! Apart from the few poor souls who jumped on not realising it wasn't a London Bridge train (although I'm not sure how they could've failed to notice it was a new overground train!).

I'm pretty surprised by this actually. I'm wondering if people might switch over to using it once awareness spreads, or if actually not that many people need to get to the east of London. It's nice for me personally to always get a seat and not be stuck under someone's armpit, but overall it'll obviously be much better if the overground takes some of the strain from the Southern services.
