I have certainly just completed a journey from West Croydon to
Dalston and back to CP without problem. However, the Nat Rail journey
planner is still showing the services as cancelled!

Just looking at live departures for West Croydon and Crystal Palace, what
seems to have happened is that they have got calls at DALSJN appearing
followed by Dalston Jn [cancelled]. I think that has come up before
somewhere else, and the automatic systems got confused because the same
location appeared twice?

Whatever, it probably just needs a simple data correction to put it
right...

Seems OK today.

No!

There's a reason why CP's grouns is called "Selhurst Park"

It's the same reason you don't get off at Woolwich Arsenal for Arsenal, or the Isle
of Dogs for Millwall.

It's not moved. The ELL extension is simply calling at the existing
station.

While I generally see little reason for TOC names padding out
announcements in an integrated network, It was actually slightly less
jarring than when station announcements in LM land, made by the same
LM voice from the same control centre say "Southern Railway
apologises ..." when the Southern services are delayed by the same
problems as the LM ones.

At least they don't claim to apologise personally. Then again, I'd
rather hear it from Phil Sayer than the dystopian computer voice used
at Manc Picc and all the LM stations.

And I miss "Bletchley, this is Bletchley" with the classic RP voice,
though it was a lightning strike that killed that well before LM had
anything to do with anything.

As Ivor has said, no it's not moving. The football ground is nowhere
near Crystal Palace; the nearest station to it is Selhurst. The club
did actually play at Crystal Palace at some time in the distant past.
I think Millwall actually had their ground in Millwall many decades
ago as well.

I dispute your characterisation that Selhurst Park is "nowhere
near" [the area known as] Crystal Palace - but it's not in Crystal
Palace, sure. A couple of miles from CP railway station - the nearest
stations are Selhurst itself and Norwood Junction, both more or less
equidistant from the ground.

They did. Moved across the river in 1910, three years before Arsenal
moved the other way across the Thames.

Why should it, when QPR is miles from Queens Park, the Chelsea ground is
next door to Fulham Broadway station, and Hendon FC is near Cricklewood
station?

What about West Ham; what were they called, and where did they play,
when they were associated with the Thames Iron Works?

Didn't one London club, Wimbledon was it, move to Milton Keynes or
somewhere a few years ago? I seem to remember something about it on
the news.

Isn't the Manchester voice that of Mrs Sayer?
