This device is always very busy at the very few times during the day that it runs. I don't understand how the operator can say it is little-used.

This is a vitally important service and is always busier than other services in the area

This train service is really useful for Beckenham residents - eliminating it will put more pressure on the busy routes to Victoria and Charing Cross/Cannon Street

Hugely valuable train link between Beckenham and the City of London

This is clearly a rather inconvenient service for Southeastern to operate but is an important commuter service into the city rather than the west-end. The convenience of the rail company should not take priority over the needs of the travelling public.

We've already had the service changed (its used to go up beyond Blackfriars), so I am very much against removing this essential service that has an effect on the quality of life for many commuters.

This is a hugely useful line and allows ease of commuting to the city.

The Beckenham to Victoria trains are not too bad. The issue is the change at Herne Hill. Thameslink trains at Herne Hill too busy to enable socail distancing. Pre-covid any change at Herne Hill before 9am was near impossible as the trains arriving from Sutton were packed to the rafters. The direct Beckenham Junction to Blackfriars Trains solves this problem. The paths on the rails exist so bring back the actual trains.

This is a vital service direct into the city from Beckenham. It’s already been reduced from linking us the north of London and to remove it completely would severely impact city commuting.

Essential to keep this line open longer term.

Please keep this fab service running! It's an important connection to Blackfriars without needing to change or use Thameslink !

Would be a travesty if we lost it. Getting to work takes so much longer at the minute because it's not running
