Summary of Our Recommendations:
1. Thameslink stopping service on the Sydenham corridor as outlined in the 2007 Route Utilisation Strategy.
2. Continued connections from Forest Hill to East Croydon.
3. Plans for the introduction of 12 carriage trains on the Sydenham corridor.
4. Minimum services frequencies of 4 trains per hour at Crofton Park.
5. Inclusion of minimum specification for off-peak services, including maximising the central Thameslink corridor beyond the primary Thameslink routes.
