You mean the xx:55 Victoria to Epsom via Norbury; it's paired with the xx:25 Victoria to Epsom Downs via Norbury.

Yes. It'd be more needed on the Downs Line (at least to Belmont), as from Epsom, Ewell East, and Cheam, for West Croydon you just catch the first train to Sutton and then play guess the platform. What really needs changing is the spacing of slow and fast trains, and flipping the Sunday service so that SWT go to Dorking and Southern get cut back to Epsom (improves timings at Clapham Junction).

That would just have extended the existing silly slow xx:19 and xx:49 from London Bridge to West Croydon via Norbury.

Which is very silly when they could extend the 2tph London Bridge to West Croydon via Forest Hill service instead, or even create two new fast trains to London Bridge in place of the two fast Victorias.
