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!

    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer. 
    • Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
    • Birds have large broods as it is unlikely all their offspring will make it through to adulthood.  Nature.  Important to reduce unnatural predation such as rats.
