Thumbsup wonderful news!
Thank-you.
I must say that the evening (18.28) service from London bridge was horrendous this evening.
They only put on a 4 carriage train (where-as the 6.27 was 8 or 10 carriages ) and the and of course the train was packed.
To add insult to injury the platform that the train pulled in at had no Escalator working and there were people 2 abreast coming down the stairs with all of us struggling to go up single file...once we reached the platform because the train had'nt pulled right up to the bumpers at the end of the platform it was at the point where the plattform is at its narrowest and there was a huge bottleneck of people still streaming off the train with those trying to get on it.
I dont know why at such a busy time of day with so many people either coming into town in order to go out (lots in party outfits) with west end shoppers going home Southern rail knowing full well that there zero Windrush line services across SE London beyong New X Gate did'nt bother providing a train with more carriages.
