How come it was quicker on Sat when you had to change than Sun when you didn't? I hopped in at Hoxton on my way back from Colombia Rd flower market and was the only person on the platform & one of the few in the train. Got my free travelcard, souvenir Oyster holder and old fashioned commemorative ticket. Getting of at Dalston there were defitnitely a few out of place looking people around. My parents came up later (from Reigate, much easier for them to visit now) and said trains were packed, standing room only. |
If my memory of commuting from Hackney serve, the staff on Overground stations are there to cram the passengers into the trains. |
Eastenders looking for somewhere to go down south could do a lot worse than visit Forest Hill and the Horniman Museum which is a 10 minute walk from the station. http://www.horniman.ac.uk/
As well as a very good museum, there are great gardens, a nice cafe, and across the road is the 'Forest Hill beach', a large sandpit full of young children. If visiting Crystal Palace watch out for the Dinosaurs in the park! http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/in_pictures/360_degree/crystal_palace/index.shtml |
That would explain the sadly deflating balloons at Forest Hill when I got off there in the evening.

Saturday: Changed trains at New Cross Gate in 10 seconds flat. Sunday: Train waited at New Cross Gate for 5 minutes. |
"fabled southern lands" - Love it! |
