I travel through here regularly, and often notice it's half empty. Quite often, only 2 platforms out of 8 will have any trains in them at all. In the peaks, there can be a full 10 minutes between any trains leaving.
It seems to me to be massively underused. What do others think?
No doubt there are pathing reasons and so on (there is always a cacophony of people telling you no!) but do forumers think it could be better used?
Certainly there are some paths in the peaks, and probably off peaks, which used to use the SLL routes. Although there is 4tph Overground to think about now.
Could more trains be pathed if there was a mix of semi-fast/skip stopping rather than the stark split of slows (via Brixton) and first stop Bromley Souths?
Could the Atlantic lines and Catford loop be used better - for both locals and fasts? Aren't some trains being proposed, but with TfL subsidy?
Might the Tanners Hill doubling help to increase services through Lewisham?
