Except for the Paddington-Greenford service. I think that it and GOBLIN
are the only two diesel services that operate entirely within Greater
London.


A lot of local London rail services leave the boundary though. I'd
count the Chiltern most-stops service to Gerrard's Cross. I think the
next the FGW semi-fasts to Oxford, calling several stops in London.
There's very little after that - and I'm fairly sure the diesel South
West Trains service suggested upthread is pick-up/set-down only at
Clapham Junction, so that doesn't count.


There are also the slow hourly FGWs to Reading calling at (I think)
more London stops, and certainly a higher proportion of London stops,
than the Oxford slows.

Are the Southern services to Uckfield pick-up/set-down only at East
Croydon? And does XC still run between Olympia and East Croydon?
