South Croydon Station
I took these pictures at South Croydon station.
I think it would be true to say, that South Croydon station is looking for a place in the rail network South of London.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
- 2 to London Victoria via East Croydon and Norbury
- 2 to London Bridge via East Croydon and Forest Hill
- 4 to Caterham
Which isn’t much for a station with six platforms.
As I watched for about fifteen minutes, I saw all manner of trains speed through including a new Class 700 train.
When Thameslink opens in 2018, current plans don’t have any trains calling at South Croydon. I think that these will be changed so that a regular pattern of four trains an hour in both directions will call, as Thameslink will want to give passengers at as many stations as possible access to Thameslink services.
If they don’t, I hope they are ready for the protests.
Anybody at station X without Thameslink will be complaining if station Y does!
