Curious extra station stops on Southern's Watford-Brighton service

Not at any of the other suburban stations en route from Clapham Junction to East Croydon, mind - just those two. Just that service. Why could this be? Guess. Selhurst could be for crew change. Dunno about Streatham Common, which is set down only. Selhurt is to do with the Down Oxted train. The Streatham Common stop is because it eases the pressure from the 18:00 Victoria to Epsom Downs via Norbury at Clapham Junction. The 18:00 is well known for its overcrowding and as such this provides a useful alternative at Clapham for people to transfer onto. Another reason for Streatham Common is that it can be used to change for Tulse Hill and also for Norbury and Thornton Heath (ex London Bridge services) in times of service disruption. The Selhurst stop has been on there for years but Streatham Common only started last May. |
