Posted by Fytton on Fri Sep 8 07:46:44 2006, in response to Re: London Overground, posted by David Fairthorne on Thu Sep 7 15:27:44 2006. "but I see no reason to close the existing Bellingham station. Crofton Park [is] more debatable"I think (though I might be wrong) Rail Blue's idea is to remove the local service on the Catford Loop. It is little used: it has only 2 tph offpeak, often with only 2-car trains, it runs into the unhelpful terminus of Blackfriars, and its main population centre (Catford) has a better and more useful service at Catford Bridge station, which is right next door to Catford station. The line can more usefully be devoted to trains running non-stop from Bromley South to Victoria. By giving Bellingham (particularly) and Crofton Park stations on more useful lines, the pain of removing the Catford Loop locals is more or less eliminated. |
