"through" and direct services beyond Blackfriars are a vital part of the Thameslink offer, don't make the journey time longer by forcing a train change at Blackfriars.

These are essential services for thousands of people in South London who don't have access to tube stations. The system won't be able to cope if these are withdrawn quite apart from fact that there are simply no realistic alternatives for many commuters.

Through services connecting North and South are extremely important - we need to promote more of these, not close them.

Having a direct train from the south east right through to St Pancras was one of the reasons for moving here. Please do not lose this.

As a regular commuter on this route, along with hundreds of others I think this is maddness. For the money that we pay to travel on the trains this is not acceptable.

This is another unwelcomed step on the slippery slope of railways in the the South East. STOP THIS NOW

Service should be increased to at least one per off peak. To be able to access north london with using the tube.

No thanks, this is a useful train and will increase journey times and will increase overcrowding on what is already busy service. We need more trains not less. Regards Craig

This service is essential for many people. It also provides an important connexion to eurostar.

This route must remain, and if anything, the frequency of the service should be increased as opposed to cut altogether. Very odd thought process to remove this service. It's always busy when I take it from Penge East and vice versa.
Observing how busy many of these Thameslink services get, I would encourage the introduction of MORE services, not fewer!!!

We need to keep our train services, including the one going to Saint Pancras. Service is not always very good, so removing some of it would make the service a disaster.

This servce is critical for keeping SE London connected to major transport hubs. As a partially disabled, but very active frequent traveller, I can assure you that making people deal with the added barriers in many underground stations is a great hardship. The population of this area is growing, and the demographic is increasingly linked with other parts of London. Don't decrease your service of the area. Please reinstate the train service from SE London to St Pancras and beyond..

This does not seem to be joined up thinking with City Hall. on the one hand incesting in Cross rail to facilitate movement of people across London and relieve already crowded inner city transport services only then to cut this service. It is short sighted and ill conceived. I think we should be promoting public transport and efficiency of journeys. This will just cause more crowding at already difficult interchanges.

Stay connected. Could this service capacity not have been shared between Beckenham with Wimbledon?
