I use to use this train five days week from Penge East, this service is a huge miss! I now have to either change and use busy trains at Herne Hill or travel to Victoria Station. Please bring this service back!

I've been travelling to work for the last five months and have resorted to going back to Shortlands for the Beckenham Hill train (a much longer journey) due to the unreliability of connections with the Thameslink at Herne Hill - Herne Hill is also getting much busier now. The government and businesses want staff back in the office, we need the infrastructure to get us there. Please reinstate this service.

I used this service every day both ways, it’s my only direct route to work. Always seemed well used to me. A few years ago we had the through services to St Pancras and beyond taken away but were told never mind we’d still have the Blackfriars ones, doesn’t seem fair that now they’re going too.

How can you know if there is demand for a service you have cut? This is a crucial commuter link and lifeline for our area

This is my way to work - offices are opening back up again and we need the local transport links to follow suit

The direct service to St. Pancras was stopped 2 years ago to my dismay, and I’ve relied on this service via Blackfriars.
