Dalston Junction to West Croydon

[Mcr Warrior]

Anyone know if London Overground services between these two stations are ever diverted to East Croydon (maybe at weekends or late hours?)

 

[MikeWh]

Not on a regular basis, no. I'd imagine it could be done in an emergency.

Doubt it. It West Croydon can't happen they'd be diverted to Crystal Palace. Seems to occur more than regular so far............

Drivers dont have route knowledge to East Croydon, apart from it would create a bigger bottleneck than it already is.
They would probably either divert to Crystal Palace or turn round at Norwood Junction depending on circumstances

I heard they'd already run an 8 tph service into Crystal Palace during weekend engineering works - it's probably about the only time both 'their' platforms have ever been used all day...
