In my view, it is worth sending as many letters as possible, to underline the importance of these services and let Southern know that it is not just a minority view that these services are important. I am guessing that most readers of this forum use the evening services to Charing Cross at least occasionally, and would miss them.

Letters could be sent to:
1. Southern Customer Services, PO BOX 277, Tonbridge TN9 2ZP
2. London Travel Watch, 6 Middle Street, London EC1A 7JA
3. Jim Dowd MP, 43 Sunderland Road, London, SE23 2PS
OR Joan Ruddock MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA


I'll happily write to them all, but...

Does anyone know if there's a best approach for lobbying / campaigning against the loss of our direct Charing Cross services (most critically, in my opinion, southbound late evening services - if that could be a possible compromise)?

Should we write independently to the people se23northener mentions or is there a better way of galvanising the pressure? If writing, are there specific points to raise which would be likely to demand more attention from the addressee?

Are there case studies of successful campaigning in similar situations?

Or is it completely pointless to waste the effort even trying?
