    I'd suggest adding the Tattenham Corner branch as in would make the route feel more like a network.

    Also your suggestion should include the London Overground stations between New Cross Gate and Norwood Junction as they are a part of the route.

    There's actually so much potential expansion you can do with this route, such as the route via tulse Hill, extension from Tulse hill onward to Clapham Junction and Victoria for Southeastern & overground as well as the branches to Uckfield, East Grinstead and Epsom downs.

    By the way, would the implementation of this route actually allow for London Victoria - Caterham and Tattenham Corner runs?
    Just a random question I had to ask myself

    Im going to be totally honest with you, i didn’t know rolling stocks run to Caterham and Tattenham Corner from London Victoria. If so, then possibly? - If DTG allows it :)

    Id love to expand on this to create some type of network. iirc stopping services from London Bridge to Caterham & Tattenham Corner went via Dulwich. They called at all stations except south croydon. Fast services went via New Cross calling at Norwood Junction and all stations to Caterham & Tattenham Corner. Obivously spliting at Purley.
