Joffe, re CX station in evening peak:
Quote:
I'd presume that without the ability to change at London Bridge, the station would be a lot less busy.
Most people who use that station get on the train that takes them to their destination. The ability to change at London Bridge helps when that isn't possible. Only those without a direct train plan on changing at London Bridge at this time - and yes Forest Hill residents fall into this category and may well use alternative routes - this was Michael's question.
I don't think that the claim that CX would be (noticeably) less busy for this is valid as there are many more routes served from that station - many of these only have alternatives from Cannon Street, so when things go wrong, my point still stands.
If something goes wrong at Charing Cross, it's irrelevant whether or not you can change at London Bridge. London Bridge being closed for changes just means Charing Cross will be a bit less busy when something goes wrong as less people will be using the station (I for example, who use it every day wouldn't be anywhere near it - I'd be on the Jubilee Line heading for Canada Water).
I'm not saying you're wrong, but not really sure I follow what you mean.
