It would appear that there are not trains on Saturday from FOH. The overground isn’t running between West Croydon and New Cross Gate. Replacement bus service for Southers between LBG and West Croydon via Sydenham.

Interestingly, no mention of replacement bus service on the Southern Site…

They use existing bus stops and it should be signposted.
Good luck!

Rail replacement bus from towards NXG is next to Barclays. We were the last 2 allowed on the bus so bus was full at HOP and Brockley. Peopke got on at back as people git off so driver let noone off at front. Loads couldn’t get on. Now at NXG and next overground leaves in 22 minutes.
