East London line station progress – New Cross

Since the full service opening of the East London line last Sunday (23 May), one station that we haven’t revisited since boarding the first passenger train on 27 April is New Cross.

Although New Cross station is not owned by Transport for London but Southeastern railway, there is now some evidence of London Overground presence at the station. Here is a small gallery of the latest finds.

1. A new London Overground line diagram has now appeared at the station. Note that London Overground trains leave from platform D.

2. The new timetable for New Cross

3. A class 378 awaits at New Cross

4. Ever since the introduction of Oyster across National Rail services, the use of these Oyster readers are now obsolete. It is also worth noting that the penalty fares at one time were only £20 (but this penalty fare applied to London Underground services – note the sign)! A long way from the heavier fine of £50 of today.

5. The New Cross signage of Southeastern railway – seems very unlikely we will see London Overground roundels at this station

6. The approach to the terminus of the station

7. On the wall, you can clearly see evidence of what used to be the cable racks of London Underground which once used to serve New Cross

8. And finally, it looks like the old London Underground indicator boards are permanently disused

And there you go! Whether London Overground will be permitted to put more permanent signs at this station remains to be seen, but if this happens, we’ll let you know!
