[TB2]

The GTR/Southern/Thameslink December 2018 timetable consultation closes next week see https://www.transformingrail.com/timetables?origin=LBG&destination=EDW&hour=23&minute=15 on the 27th July 2017. The details suggests the trains services from London Bridge will be cut by half after 2200 hours and all trains after 2314 withdrawn altogether. If you object to this please respond to the consultation asap

If you click on 'Later trains' there is a 23.54 scheduled. And it says that late night services are subject to further consultation.

Rush hour services proposed:

ED -> LB dep. 07.23, 07.32, 07.38, 07.53, 08.02, 08.08, 08.23, 08.32, 08.38, 08.53

LB -> ED dep. 16.44, 16.52, 17.01, 17.14, 17.22, 17.31, 17.44, 17.52, 18.01, 18.14, 18.22, 18.31

Offpeak daytime services look to have the same frequncy as now.

Also worth noting the West Croydon trains will be diverted to run via East Croydon to Caterham (peaks to Selhurst).

I've looked through the evening services proposed and the frequency is four an hour, as it is now. So apart from those post-23.00 services (which are subject to further consultation), service frequency is either increasing (peak) or staying the same (offpeak). Cllr. Barber on Twitter is talking about 'slashing trains' to ED. Am I missing something?

[TB2]

Yes, the night service consultation does not apply to these services as it is to do with main line services on the route to Brighton, so it is important to respond to this consultation as it stands. These trains the 2301 and 2334 London Bridge - Crystal Palace via East Dulwich will not run and will not be replaced.

I'm not a commuter but does Bic Bashers remark re east Croydon mean that we will get back an ED EC connection on 2018?

If so fab news for Gatwick connections.
