It has two main entry points into London from the north; one branch begins at Bedford and enters the Travelcard zones at [[Elstree and Borehamwood Station|Elstree and Borehamwood]], while the other comes down from Peterborough or Cambridge through [[Hadley Wood Station|Hadley Wood]] (though non-stopping there, with the first London stop generally being [[Finsbury Park Station|Finsbury Park]]). Some of the Cambridge trains terminate at [[King's Cross Station|King's Cross]], but most trains from all northern branches continue through [[St Pancras International Station|St Pancras International]], [[Farringdon Station|Farringdon]], [[City Thameslink Station|City Thameslink]], and [[Blackfriars Station|Blackfriars]] before crossing the river via Blackfriars Railway Bridge. At this point the route branches again. One branch heads via [[London Bridge Station|London Bridge]] nonstop to [[East Croydon Station|East Croydon]] and thence south out of London to Brighton, and another goes via [[Greenwich Station|Greenwich]] and [[Dartford Station|Dartford]] out to Rainham in Kent (not to be confused with [[Rainham Station|the zone 6 station of the same name]]). The other two go via [[Elephant and Castle Station|Elephant and Castle]], one to run around the [[Category Sutton Loop|Sutton Loop]] and the other to branch off via [[Peckham Rye Station|Peckham Rye]] and [[Catford Station|Catford]] to finally terminate at [[Orpington Station|Orpington]] or Sevenoaks. It should be noted that there aren't necessarily direct connections from all the northern ends to all the southern ends; for example, there are no direct trains from Cambridge to Sutton, or from Bedford to Orpington, and many services start or end at Kentish Town or Blackfriars. However, several useful direct trains do exist, for example between [[Luton Airport]] in the north and [[Gatwick Airport]] in the south.
