Getting to Honor Oak Park station

[kilmore]

Extending the 63 bus to Honor Oak Park Station seems an exceptionally good idea, leaving the 363 to go on its current route to Crystal Palace. Honor Oak Park is of course on the the East London Line extension, currently under construction and due to open in mid 2010. It would greatly add to the connections in this area to have a regular direct service to the station (to be part of London Overground), opening up connections right along its route through New Cross Gate, east London and eventually to Highbury and Islington. At present it is very difficult to reach any of these places without going through central London.

There would seem to be enough space to turn them around in front of the station, or otherwise at the bottom of the road.

This would not remove the need for ELL Phase 2 bringing the route through Peckham Rye for Clapham Junction, branching off ELL 1 just after Surrey Quays, but it would improve the transport options in East Dulwich at practically nil cost.
