I use this service from Kent House to Farringdon and back every day. It's crowded and I never get a seat on the up journey. How can its removal be justified when it's so popular there aren't enough seats?

Keep the Thameslink services. How are commuters meant to get to work now?! It will increase their time. Non main stations require a good reasonable train service to get to main stations. Not really a good duty of care to customers.

This is a crucial transport link from SE London which is already grossly neglected by tube connections.

These trains, which only operate at peak times, are packed full of hardworking commuters. Any 'alternative' options are likely to add at least 30 minutes per day onto commutes that are already 2 hours a day for a 9 mile (18 mile return) journey, and add even further congestion to Wimbledon loop trains from Herne Hill, Victoria and Charing Cross trains and the tube. Surely there's a better way?!

Especially important as Cannon Street services on the Hayes line will also be withdrawn in the long run. Beckenham area will end up with trains to West End (Charing Cross and Victoria) but nothing direct to the City.

As a commuter this service is my only means of getting to work in a remotely practical time. Removing it would add an hour a day to my commute.

I use this service to work and back every day - the 8 carriages are always full to bursting so on what basis has someone decided this service is unnecessary?

Have you ever tried to change to a ThamesLink train in Herne Hill? Mission Impossible. We need the trains from Beckenham.

This service is essential for those living in the penge and beckenham areas, this line is very heavily used and will affect a huge amount of people.

My partner and I are moving to this area to rent for some time and buy... This will affect both our commutes adding more time to our day away from family time and no doubt cause issues for thousands more people
