what was the service pattern durnng the above timescale

The base plan prior to the main suburban rebuild and afterwards remained largely the same, timetable wise. There were a few minor tweaks to some services, the most noticeable IIRC was the Chessington's, which were retimed by a minute in both directions. This and other small adjustments were designed around the new track formation at Waterloo, and a desire by the planning side to see all services have a four minute re-occupancy in the main sub group of platforms, thus coming in to line with the main line platform 'rules'. It was also (specifically) in association with the movement of the Up main slow to platform one crossover to the country side of Westminster bridge, which resulted in a longer (timewise) run in to platform one, and also the subsequent conversion of most services from 8 car to 10 car.
Other than the above, train to platform allocation changes (at Waterloo) formed most of the other differences. The timetable/train formations remained largely as per prior to the rebuild, the other exception being the gradual 707 introduction and associated cascade during 2017.
