Late Notes for this walk Please note that surface trains won’t be running to New Cross station – the published start point – on Sunday. However, all surface trains to New Cross Gate and all Overground trains and buses to both New Cross Gate and New Cross stations should be OK. It is a 10-minute walk from New Cross Gate station to New Cross station. The walk will still leave at 10.30 am so you may need to adjust your planned journey.
