However, I had no idea that our service to Charing Cross had been a matter of debate for 'years':

Timetable planners at Network Rail, Southeaster, Southern, First Capital Connect and London Overground attempted for a number of years to develop a timetable that allowed these services to continue to operate, but it was not possible to find appropriate train paths that would allow these services to continue.

Quote:

...which will be more likely with a third of Southern services cut
- will have to pay more for the 'privilege' of using the tube system instead of a mainline service to Charing Cross.
