Default New Cross service (SE Trains)

I travel from the East London Line to Sidcup occasionally visiting family
and was planning to do so this evening, but was really quite amazed to find
that New Cross has no trains running out of London for 1 hour 20mins in the
early evening of Saturday, not even on another line from which we could
change for Sidcup. This is really a quite staggeringly poor service for a
station in London, especially about the only place where you can change from
SE Trains onto the Underground without going into central London.

It is all the more amazing that there is a gap of 1hr20 given that
Overground Network maps state that New Cross has 6 trains per hour. I know
this is intended to be a daytime frequency, but 6.30 on a Saturday evening
is not late night.

I don't really have a question, just had to get that off my chest somewhere!
