Crofton Park train switch?
Friend of BC Patrick writes:
The South London Press reports that:
The number of direct trains to Victoria will be slashed from several South London stations from May onwards. Direct trains to Victoria from Clapham High Street, Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye will be cut to two trains per hour with no service after 7.30pm or on Sundays.
The first cut will come in May when trains rerouted to Victoria while Blackfriars station is upgraded return to the redeveloped station.
The Inner South London line, which runs between London Bridge and Victoria, via Peckham Rye, will be scrapped in December.
This will leave just one direct route into Victoria from Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, and Clapham High Street – Southeastern’s service to and from Dartford.
It suggests that the only service from Nunhead, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill to Victoria after May will be the current Dartford service, so there won’t be any trains after 7.30pm on weekdays and none on Sundays.
This must logically mean that Crofton Park trains will go back to using Blackfriars from that date also, and not only on Saturdays, which they used to do, but also on Sundays as well, when historically they’ve always gone to Victoria on Sundays even before the Thameslink upgrade.
If anyone can confirm or correct Patrick's analysis, please let us know and we'll update this article.
