Save the direct train service from Beckenham Junction/Kent House/Penge East/Sydenham Hill/West Dulwich to Blackfriars

An important peak time service into Central London & Thameslink connections.

With the world returning to the new normal and more and more people commuting, this is an essential route for persons working and visiting the City of London.

We really need this reinstated

Having to change and rely on thameslink from herne hill is a nightmare, they are either cancelled or you are lucky to get on!

Please reinstate the service - The train at Herne Hill is very overcrowded

This is an important train line to all the residents of area who work in and around Blackfriars, which was used on a daily basis by many to get to and from work. Cancelling it without providing an appropriate alternative is senseless.

We need this train service. We moved to the area because of it. A service to Victoria does not duplicate it. It goes to Blackfriars, another place in London (where I work, which is not Victoria)

Train services are being reduced continuously, with prices going up. This is just one example of the train operators grossly letting down their customers who have little recourse to do anything about it.

This is a well utilised route. It needs to be reinstated!

Vital for work commute. More and more people living in Beckenham yet ever more train services being removed!

"...we will not be reinstating direct services in the short-term while usage of these services is very low" - It is absurd to argue against reinstating a service due to low usage when it has been completely cancelled! I have been working from home for months, delaying a return to the office because of the complete cancellation of this service. I it were an option I would use it!

Beckenham needs this key connection restored and also direct service to Clapham Junction

The numbers pre-covid are resuming travel. The population of London continues to steadily increase, not decrease. We need more transport, not less. South London already suffers with less infrastructure and investment. It is vital to keep such lines in place.

Now that people are returning/being advised to return to work in London, this is a vital service and avoids overcrowding on the line to Victoria. I have commuted from Beckenham Junction to the City for almost 35 years and cannot believe There is a potential for NO direct trains to London Blackfriars

This will be such an important transport link for when the Elizabeth Line is up and running - for those of us who travel for business it will half the travel time to get to Heathrow

Very important service at peak times now offices are returning

Please bring this service back!

We need this station

The direct link to London Blackfiriars has been used by three of my family who travel to the City. The morning train was always full, and while I understand that it has been cancelled because of Covid, we all hope that better times will return. My son and daughter still travel to the City for at least halftge working g week.

The direct service to Blackfriars is essential during the rush hours and changing at Herne Hill is a disaster with overcrowding. The service should be reinstated asap.
