From the 12 January 2015, South West Trains passengers will be unable to

stopping at London Bridge. This is expected to continue until August
2016.

How many people made that change?

A lot of people from SWT-land working in the London Bridge area.

Is it enough to cause an issue?#
I haven't been that way for a while, but Waterloo East is always very busy.


Or does the London Bridge works mean that some people will be commuting
into Waterloo and connecting to LB, rather than commuting direct to LB?
Southern services would divert to Victoria, not Waterloo. Thameslink to
Elephant & Castle or Blackfriars is also an option. ISTR there was a
proposal to divert some SE trains services to Waterloo International but
that obviously hasn't happened.


'commuting direct to to LB' isn't a sensible option from a lot of SWT
territory.

I know someone who commutes from Surrey on SWT to Waterloo (and then
generally walks to LB) but he can also go to LB via Redhill.
There are bits of SWT where there is a choice, but there is a lot more that
doesn't. An excample would be someone I know who used to commute from
Wokingham to Greenwich with changes at Waterloo and London Bridge.

Yes. See the number of people making a Waterloo East - London Bridge
journey in the morning peak, for instance.

I don't think so

all of the SET services that are no longer running to CX are diverted to Vic

Do any of those services have a possibility of changing at Clapham
Junction for Waterloo?

Dunno. I was under the impression that Clapham Junction also served some
trains to Victoria.

Wow. How the hell is there room for them? Are loads of local trains
being scrapped, the way the entire Hertford Loop service got canned
after the Potters Bar disaster?

I think you've mis-understood the post.

AIUI most SET services to/from CX will continue to run to/from CX. None of
these services will be able to call at LBG.

Some CX services will be diverted. All diverted CX services will go to VIC
instead.

Yep

The longer distance trains that usually run into Vic are making additional
stops so that the locals that usually run into Vic can be canned.

The free-ed up paths are then being used for diverted CX trains
