Absolute devastating. We have already had the covert cuts over the years (6 down to 5). Most recently around June we lost the 8:30?am to London Bridge. Which you thought would be the final straw. Now this.


This will be a tough fight.


Two reasons

1. They want to hand over capacity to London Overground so they can run more services when they (allegedly) get rid of the New Cross route in 2018. But I wouldn't hold my breath too much. Nothing is a guarantee in this business. Remember they said we would have 6-8 London Bridge services after redevelopment was done? Hahahaha.



2. Too much lobbying and political pressure to make sure Thameslink is successful and increase capacity through Gatwick, East Croydon and further out areas. We all know that Sadiq Khan is in favour of the Gatwick expansion.



So yeah.... Thing with these things are most people don't realise until it's gone. Probablh need to stand outside the station with a sign lol
