From the weekly Tfl email:
On Sunday, there is no service between New Cross Gate and West Croydon.
On Sunday, there is no service between Sydenham and Crystal Palace.
I interpreted that as meaning that some of the New Cross Gate <-> Sydenham trains were still running. I, or the email, may be wrong.

Chris - it is ambiguous. I read it to be that Sydenham lies on the New Cross Gate/West Croydon line and hence there will no services north or south of Sydenham. They then have to add the branch line to Crystal Palace to preclude a shuttle operating east/west to/from Sydenham.

The Southern/National Rail statement is clearer and a working assumption is that where Southern don't go, Overground won't follow ...

Want a bet a tenner nowt runs?

Can confirm no trains at Syd today.

Also the rail replacement buses between London Bridge and West Croydon are experiencing problems because of a serious road accident at the junction of Croydon Road and Anerley Road in Anerley.
