[edit] Service pattern

I am absolutely certain the train services which stop regularly offpeak at east croydon are as follows:

Southern
  • 2tph London Victoria - Norbury - Caterham (stopping)
  • 2tph London Victoria - East Grinstead
  • 2tph London Victoria, Clapham, East Croydon and Brighton only
  • 1tph London Victoria - Horsham - Chichester
  • 1tph London Victoria - Horsham - Portsmouth / Bognor Regis (dividing)
  • 1tph London Victoria - Haywards Heath - Eastbourne / Southampton (dividing)
  • 1tph London Victoria - Haywards Heath - Hastings / Littlehampton (dividing)
  • 2tph London Bridge - Forest Hill - Caterham (stopping)
  • 2tph London Bridge - Crystal Palace - Smitham (stopping)
  • 1tph London Bridge - Horsham
  • 1tph London Bridge - Uckfield
  • 2tph London Charing Cross - Purley - Tattenham Corner
  • 1tph Watford Junction - Brighton
Southeastern
  • 1tph London Bridge - Tunbridge Wells
FCC
  • 2tph Bedford - Brighton

The service pattern which was up before my edits was a clear overstatement including quite a lot of services which go via West, rather than East Croydon, and the CrossCountry services which don't leave regularly - more like 2 or 3 times per day. If anyone requires proof of the above I'll be happy to link to the relevant timetables, I do admit I've written that off the top of my head but I did live in the area for 17 years and I'm sure it's correct. Or, check southern's website

I should also point out though that the timetable is going to be revised for the long distance services on friday, so this may change. - Zeibura (Talk) 04:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historic Images

Does anyone have any images of the station before the rebuild? I have searched high and low on the Internet and I haven't found a single one, let alone one licensed for public use. Anywikiuser (talk) 15:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
