Caroline was joined by Simon Hughes MP trying out the new London Overground Service from Surrey Quays in Rotherhithe to Clapham Junction. The team went out on the new route on its first day of operation on Sunday 9th December. Simon and Caroline had also been out the day before supporting local campaigners against the final day of the South London Line from Victoria to London Bridge. The new line does allow many more journeys to be made in Zone 2 avoiding busy Zone 1.
Whilst welcoming the new overground link, it remains important to ensure the South London Line returns and passengers at Wandsworth Road, Clapham High Street and Denmark Hill have proper direct links to Victoria and London Bridge.
