    East Croydon footbridge?

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    Apologies. I was referring to the fact that all the rotating stands on each platform which held the pre 20 May timetables have all been physically removed. The spaces now stack disabled access ramps so if we had working TT's they could not know be displayed.

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    Went to East Croydon yesterday and noticed that all the timetables which were in rotating racks have now all gone. Not being an I phone user I find this removal not helpful.
