If they were at Birkbeck Station I could well understand it! (The new
timetable has no trains at all on the Crystal Palace - Beckenham
Junction line except on Saturdays.)

Change at West Croydon to the tram but you can (not you will) be
quicker going CYP-Sydenham-Penge West-Shanks Pony and/or 194 bus-Penge
East-BKJ.

The direct Saturday service has a 30m interval so if you've only just
missed a train the pretty route might still be quicker than waiting.
