Default East London Line Ex Ph 2 funding deal / loss of Vic - Bellinghamservice

A great shame about the loss of the Bellingham-Victoria service.
There are very limited peak hour trains from Crofton Park currently
and the 0809 is regularly rammed as the next train isn't until, I
think, 0838, which is too late for commuters. And on the 0809, many
people get out at Denmark Hill to change for a Victoria train, so a
direct Victoria service would certainly ease crowding both at Denmark
Hill station and on the trains themselves. I'm sure it'll be
reinstated at some later date.
