Thameslink have made a point of stating that alternative services are available from Dartford - London and London - Luton for the cuts to Rainham but have failed to mention the Medway - Dartford/Abbey Wood connections of which they provide the only direct service. Weekdays there are alternatives...

Would begin to run an issue with Loop line services, Grays P3 can only fit 8/357 and this would mean a reduction on capacity on Grays - Fenchurch via Ockendon peak services, of which these are standing from Chafford and full by Upminster/Barking. Would also run into issues at Shoeburyness with...

The recent refurbishment of the 357s only included corrosion repairs and repaint, none of the previous units refurbished had any changes to the interior

Anyone know whether it will be self dispatch or whether trains will be dispatched? Cambridge North was cd/ra when built however the majority of trains there now have cameras for self dispatch

Lots of changes across SE with lots of services back running off peak and all day Saturdays and improved Sunday services Tunbridge wells services are back along with all day Sidcup-Greenwich rounders and Bexleyheath line - Charing Cross AM and PM fast service Hastings - Charing Cross calling...

Direct connections to Luton Airport are a bit of a loss but if this was to improve the performance of the north kent thameslink then i’m all for this. Far too often this service is curtailed during disruption on the midland and the only place possible to turn this back is at Dartford. Missing...

Semi fast services do still exist on the Sidcup line: 4 services in the AM fast from New Eltham to London Bridge, (two starting at Crayford and two at Strood) and one evening peak return from Charing X - Gillingham fast to New Eltham and one Charing X - Dartford via Lewisham skipping...

The spectacular failure of 465017 and 465919 on 2I47 at London Bridge in the evening peak last night shows the dire situation, if the rumour of them wanting rid of met cams soon is true with no replacement then expect many short forms or service reductions

Anyone got a list of Scrapped/Stored/In service 465 + 466?

458s lack DOO ability meaning they wouldn’t be able to run in the DOO area, which is Farningham Road - London, Hildenborough - London and Kemsing - London

Monday - Friday only a small number of morning peak trains skip West Ham/Limehouse. Pre-covid with the full timetable that was running there were a considerable number more skips for West Ham for capacity reasons and to speed up services As far as I can see this one for last night has no...

Whether its anything to do with GBR (unsure) however several 700/0s have had their diagonal stripes at the end of the carriages removed so they are now plain white. 700040 and 700005 are a couple

Priority for them should be reinstating the Orpington service so the Catford loop regains 4tph, as the current service is poor for that part of South London

Also means that connections from Medway/Dartford to Greenwich have been cut. Roll on december when the Greenwich line has SE service increases softening the blow during TL service reduction or disruption

There is similar in the evening peak where the Victoria - Gillingham services are formed of 465 stock rather than 377s to release enough units for the Blackfriars introductions. In addition, there are additional services formed of 5 carriages on the Woolwich/Greenwich lines, 2I07 0658 Lee -...

Stock for these Blackfriars services should come from changing the majority of Gillingham - Victoria semi fasts into networkers both 8 and 6 car

Currently yes, engineering works do not occur on this day however there are plenty of extra services to and from marathon stations that day, far more than the usual sunday service. Earlier starts also. Given the fact that Thameslink runs pretty sporadically on sunday mornings over the north kent...
