It is essential we keep direct services to East Croydon as it provides a step free interchange which is not guaranteed at Norwood Junction. This is vital for those of us who are less mobile and find steps a challenge especially when travelling with luggage and pushchairs. There is also more seating at East Croydon than Norwood Junction and refreshment/toilet facilities on the platforms which don't even exist at Norwood Junction. Connections to some destinations can involve waits of up to 30 minutes so having some of these services is particularly useful.
