The new times are 10:02 Kensington (Olympia)->Wandsworth Road, and 16:10 Wandsworth Road->Kensington (Olympia). Obviously timed at the end of morning peak and start of evening peak. They do seem to conflict with London Overground's schedules, though, so I'm sure they'd like to get rid of them for this reason.

The new (combined Southern + Thameslink) franchise was never supposed to come into effect before late-2013?

Looks like TFL has listened to reason, and is keep pedestrian access across the bridge.
Transport for London (TfL) will be introducing automatic ticket gates and also preserving pedestrian access across a footbridge at London Overground's Kensington (Olympia) station.
While the gates are being installed, an additional staircase will also be built to relieve congestion and provide an unobstructed pedestrian route between Olympia Way and Russell Road.
Following feedback from the community and their council representatives, plans for the station were revised to maintain unrestricted pedestrian access across the footbridge. The platforms will be inaccessible from this segregated pedestrian route.

Was very surprised to find out about this route from Clapham High St station this morning (my everyday station now since the Overground to the city started) however the way I found out sadly is from a notice outside saying this route is soon to stop in the next week. I probably wont get a chance to try it now!!
