I came back from St Pancras last night with heavy suitcases, and was very pleased to connect at London Bridge to the Caterham train (for Forest Hill) on the same platform.

This is a situation (assuming the Brighton service doesn't add a stop at Forest Hill) where I'd probably prefer to hang about on LB platform 5 rather than haul heavy cases up and down the steps to get to 13 or 15 - or even take the long 'accessible' route.

I assume a knock on effect of the planned end to the Charing Cross service means that this convenient option would not be open to me?
