Please keep this valuable service. Changing at Herne Hill is not easy as trains to Blackfriars are often too busy to get on. Crucial that you keep this service please for commuters in both directions during peak commuting hours.

this service is incredibly useful for my day to day life connecting me to blackfriars, which is difficult to get to any other route. There are mamy residents in close proximity to kent house that rely on this service.

This service was a lifeline for me in an area that is very poorly served otherwise. (I live in Gipsy Hill and catch the train at Sydenham Hill)

We moved house in April and purposely bought near Kent House to make use of the direct train to Blackfriars! Please dont double our journey time

This train line was a fundamental reason why we moved to this area. The direct train to my partners work. Herne Hill and the trains that stop there really struggle with capacity at busy times.

I work at Blackfriars and I do have to go in, at the beginning changing at Herne Hill was not too bad but over the last few weeks it is much busier, which cannot be good in this current climate. It would help so much just to have the 5 trains in the morning and evening again, if not 5 then 3 would help?

This train journey is crucial for me and my husband, greatly simplifying our journeys to work and university.

Direct service is vital especially after covid We cannot go back to a congested station like herne Hill where everyone has to change..

This is an essential service for commuters - it must not be withdrawn.

direct rail services are essential for people going back to work in offices.

This is a vital (and in normal circumstances very well-used) service for Beckenham commuters, both the morning service (6am to 9am) to Blackfriars and the evening service (4 - 7 pm) back, relieving over-crowding at Herne Hill.
