The suggestion that Southern services be transferred to TfL may sound like a good idea, but I think TfL also lack imagination and forward planning.

After many months of disruption we were rewarded with 5 coach overground trains whose capacity was immediately filled and exceeded. Obviously it would have cost more money to extend all the platforms to support 6, 7 or even 8 coaches, but it needs to be done at some point so it is much better to spend the money now and take the benefits early, rather than making more expensive and disruptive piecemeal changes.

Similarly we saw the rebuild and extension of the lower Forest Hill entrance. Again, no imagination in what is a tiny expansion which could easily have been so much more. And the little narrow door way at the top of the stairs should be opened up too.

p*** poor planning all over.
