More rush hour trains from ED to LB

[matthew123]

Have had an email from Southern Railways saying that from 24th May there will be new departures during rush hour to London Bridge. So no longer 20 minute delays if you just miss the 7.29 a.m. or 8.15 a.m. !

excellent thanks for letting us know

[tomlinsons]

That has just made my day! Thank you

[MrBen]

Nice one. Now I've got the choice, I can't be arsed with that "can you move down a bit!" 07.57 to 08:41 period anymore. And there was nothing more soul destroying to a man than just missing the 07:29.

Great that Southern are finally waking up and realising that the higher suit count in ED these days means more city commuters and a need for a spread of times that reflect that. Er....thank you Barry!

That is great news! All we need now is more trains after 8pm back into ED..........

[boswell]

So have the 8.35 and the 8.41 disappeared then? This is a pain in the arse for me in that case as the .41 used to get me in just in time for work. Those 8 extra minutes of sleep are vital!

[matthew123]

Looks like they've moved them to 8.33 and 8.45

Apart from more regular departures thus less crowded - the new trains such as the 8.27 and 7.57 will be arriving at Peckham Rye just minutes after other trains pass Peckham so should be a lot more comfortable in the event of standing.

09:04 - great, 10 more minutes in bed every morning!

Earliest train in to LB still a provincial 0612 though !

Something around 0530 would be handy I have to say.

Many months ago a very resourceful Forum member produced neat credit-card sized timetables to/from ED. I still use them all the time and an updated one would be great. Sorry I don't recall who it was, but thanks in anticipation.....

[sophiesofa]

I use mine all the time too but I don't think he (i think it was a man) was a regular poster so we might not be so spoilt this time.

[plimsoul]

i have to say that the iphone official national railway app is great

[sophiesofa]

it's ?4.99 though - maybe I'm just stingy

That's my boyfriend! He's got exams at the moment, but sure he will do once they're over and the full new timetable is published.

I recommend the free iphone trainline app - amazing!

[ziggy]

Thanks boswell - send good luck for the exams! The iPhone app is excellent, but the little table is always useful pinned up in the kitchen and at work!
