Services
Currently only a shuttle service operates, known by the staff as "the popper". The typical off-peak service is two trains per hour in each direction. Previously through services had continued on to Holborn Viaduct, Victoria, Cannon Street and Charing Cross. There was a proposal to bring through services from Charing Cross to Bromley North back into operation for the December 8 timetable, but the extra paths were used up making the Charing Cross to Orpington services four trains per hour instead of two. However, direct trains from Bromley North to Charing Cross run on New Year's Eve.
Bromley North Station also serves as an alternative station for Bromley, when engineering works are being carried-out on the Chatham Main Line or when other maintenance works are occurring at Bromley South. Trains are diverted from London Victoria to Bromley North via Grove Park, and vice-versa. During this operation, it is more common to see Class 375's and 376's as well as Southeastern Networkers.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
