Network Rail plans for 32 Thameslink trains an hour
Filed 09/04/08

Up to 32 trains an hour will run between London and the south coast
along Thameslink routes by 2015, according to information contained
within Network Rail's newly published South London Route Utilisation
Strategy.


List edited for clarity:

four per hour to Brighton.
two per hour to East Grinstead.
four to Tonbridge with two going on to Tunbridge Wells.
four to Gatwick Airport with two going on to Horsham.
four stoppers running to Sydenham and East Croydon.
four heading to Orpington/Sevenoaks.
two running to Maidstone.
four services along the Wimbledon loop
two running to and from Herne Hill and
two heading to Rochester in Kent.

Please correct me if I'm being a bit geographically challenged, but isn't
the only one of these destinations that is on the South Coast actually
Brighton? What's with these journalists ffs...


Only one's *on* the south coast, but all of them are *between London and
the south coast*, as described!
