All we want for Christmas is more trains!


A Cinderella Line

Recommended Posts

Hello SE23!


As you know, we have been pushing for more train services for Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Crofton Park, Catford and beyond.


We are now in the last phase of the Thameslink consultation, and need 3,000 people to say they support the calls for more trains at weekends too as well as weekdays, all before the deadline of 20th December


In addition to this, we are also calling on Southeastern trains to provide more services to London Victoria to give everyone real choice and reliability for their journeys, as well as protect the existing services we have when their franchise changes next year.


To add your voice, just follow this link:

Thank you!

How does this affect uses in SE22/15/21 who generally use N and E Dulwich and Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations, none of which are mentioned in the page from the link? By signing for more trains from these stations would people be then taking trains away from the stations I just mentioned?

I've signed this. Both the Thameslink and Victoria trains serve Nunhead, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill. There is the ridiculous they've put a 20 and a 10 minute gap for someone to add in another train , with no back-up to the potential of more trains eg who would run this service, when it would start. I can see the one after the 20 minute being busier, therefore being delayed so you'll have eg a 25 minute gap and a 5 minute gap (This is going on Thameslink's usual reliability) Also weekends a frequent through London service is needed on Thameslink. I am still concerned about the Victoria service, I've not seen any feedback since the last consultation.


This is all happening now as the new timetable for the very very overdue Thameslink 2000 project is being finalised.

Hi Nigello, This will not take away services from these stations, in fact this is for services that run through Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye - You can find more about the full consultation on the Thameslink website: https://www.transformingrail.com/


We hope this helps!

Hi Renata,


The gaps will be for the future franchise holder of Southeastern to provide an infill service. The Franchise gets renewed in December 2018, and so we are in the process of campaigning to the new potential franchise holders to provide the infill services as soon as they take over.


With regards to the Victoria services, we have started a petition to both protect and enhance the current Victoria trains. Please sign and share our petition for this here: https://www.change.org/p/david-statham-more-victoria-trains-for-crofton-park-the-catford-loop


We hope this helps!

    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!
