Overground issues

Heads up - just got kicked of off the Overground at New Cross Gate due to an issue with the train. Boards on the platform were showing the following trains as cancelled as well so might be something more endemic to the rest of the line.

Ended up getting the next train into London Bridge which seem to be running fine.

This happened to me one morning. It is very dangerous to terminate an Overground train at New Cross Gate. Everyone on the train had to get off onto an already crowded platform. Then try to get onto the next train.
If they need to turn the trains round they should do it at Canada Water where many people get off.

Me too. It was total chaos. I forced my way out the station and went to New Cross in the end…
