It's a tad unfair that we should lose more services during the Thameslink works even if it's temporary when we've sacrificed two trains to LB already. Ok, the 10 carriage trains will be able to cram in all those passengers to the remaining 2tph, yet realistically you'll cram even more passengers onto the ELL trains which are now VERY popular all day. Even the Crystal Palace trains fill up by here during the peak.

Two slots will be going when the Inner South London Line (Vic to LB via Peckham Rye) is replaced with the ELL extension to Clapham Junction in December 2012, so that's already a loss of two trains per hour for Peckham customers, so where else do you free up platforms?
