Sign up to keep station on line

By Jenny Clover


HUNDREDS of people are protesting against plans to cut a direct train
service to central London.....
.... diversions not being brought in with the next phas of
the ELL extension to Clapham Junction - Is this something to do with
the Thameslink works at London Bridge?


One would have thought that the priority would be develop the SLL
(with a station at Brixton). The alternative bus service to London
Bridge is pretty grim.



The service to and from Lewisham needs to be reinstated in the
evenings, and introduced on Sundays.

Both have been done before (maybe the all-week dome services didn't
stop at Denmark Hill, but they could have done).

This was done without any need to reduce the London Bridge service.

There used to be a station at East Brixton, but I think it fell off
the viaduct. It wasn't in the best location, but a station in Brixton
is definitely needed.
