According to a local forum I frequent, the local Southern manager for the Metro east area has posted that he's only losing 2 of his 4 stations on the extension.
To no real surprise Southern is losing Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street to LO, while Peckham Rye and Queens Road Peckham stay with Southern.
I've enquired about Denmark Hill which is currently with Southeastern.

Will Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street still be unstaffed when taken over by LO.

Will Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street still be unstaffed when taken over by LO. Never. All LO stations are fully staffed (even if they're sometimes lurking in the ticket office). Surprising what you can see sometimes late at night when you look carefully around the edge of a closed blind. |

It'll be interesting to see what Southern do branding wise to incorporate the LO at their managed stations, will we see a roundel next to the Southern logo at Queens Road Peckham and Peckham Rye, or keep things as they are?
Incidentally Queens Road is also getting a second piazza entrance. PR has had refurbishment work to the waiting room and toilets on the platforms.
The two unstaffed stations will benefit the most from being in LO hands.

Yes, Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street will transfer to LO, they will be staffed and re-branded, but will remain ungated for the time being. The remaining three stations will stay with their current TOC and their branding will be in accordance with their respective TOC Design Standards.

Why is Wandsworth Road being handed over? No LO trains serve it!

Why is Wandsworth Road being handed over? No LO trains serve it! They will do, once the extension to Clapham Junction happens (or did you miss the title of the thread?) |

A random decision to keep Peckham Rye, Queens Road Peckham and Denmark Hill with the current franchisees when Southern lost Norwood Junction and West Croydon to LO despite running more services than them!
