Hackney to Croydon at last: all we’ve been waiting for

Now you can go to Croydon. Better, you can come back

TEN THOUSAND all-zone travelcards, along with tickets of a type used on the Dalston-Broadgate railway that closed in 1986, were given away as part of a promotion to mark the start of the 7-day-a-week Dalston Junction-West Croydon service on the East London Line.

The publicity stunt ended the limited service that started in April.
