Living The Dream: Brockley to Dalston in 30 Minutes Or Less

Yes, it's true - BrockleyCentral was among the first lucky people to make the journey to Dalston Junction this morning on the newly-opened London Overground service.

It was a beautifully smooth ride, marred not at all by the fact that the train arrived 8 minutes late. And we greatly enjoyed the tea and cake afterwards at the Broca (which opened early to celebrate).
Here are some pictures from our adventure ...

We have a service noticeboard, just like everyone else!
