Tips for passengers

A 14-minute weekday gap is short, but weekend gaps stretch to 18 minutes, so allow for a longer wait on Saturdays and Sundays. Because the route links several rail stations, including Bromley North, Bromley South and East Croydon, it is useful for changing trains. Allow around an hour for the full trip, and check the destination before you board, since the two ends are a long way apart.
