I took the train round from London Victoria to London Bridge today, last day of service before it is discontinued. Figured that I would take the opportunity to ride it around (never had before) on the last day, and ride the new Clapham Junction to Surrey Quays tomorrow.

I inadvertently ended up on the same train as the Southwark Rail Users group, who were riding the trip a couple time around. They had signs and were taking pictures, and talking to people on the train. The woman I talked to said they weren't protesting, just communicating, though the information they were handing out was titled "South London's Loss".

They were handing out maps they felt better represented the new layout of the train services than the TFL tube maps, which they said don't show how Southwark is connected to central London. I didn't bother pointing out that the TFL tube map doesn't show any rail service other than the Overground, and that most of the new stops weren't on the old London maps.
