SOUTHEASTERN TRAINS NEW TIMETABLE

Early day motion 678, tabled 20 January 2010 by John Austin (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House welcomes the introduction of the revised Southeastern timetable with improved frequency, but notes that as a consequence all peak services from Abbey Wood, Woolwich Arsenal and Charlton to Blackheath and Lewisham have been withdrawn; further notes that passengers who previously used this service are now required to transfer on to local bus services or the Docklands Light Railway to reach their destination; supports calls from London TravelWatch for those passengers previously commuting on this service to be appropriately compensated; and calls for Southeastern to reinstate a peak service between these stations in their timetable to be published in May 2010.
