Introduction This consultation sets out proposed changes to the timetable which will be operated by Southeastern between 20 May and 8 December 2018. We are seeking feedback from any interested parties regarding the proposed changes of the new patterns of service. Southeastern and the Department for Transport are working together to propose changes to the service to provide the capacity and levels of performance required for the route. The timetable change will introduce additional Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) Thameslink services into Kent enhancing frequencies on some routes and will replace some Southeastern services. The Southeastern timetable will be adjusted across the network in order to integrate these services. This document outlines the proposed service levels across the network. There are no significant changes to the timetable structure and the level of service will be broadly what it is today. Details of the Monday to Friday service are shown in the accompanying timetables. 2. Southeastern May 18 Timetable Public Consultation The main features of the timetable are: • With the works at London Bridge near completion, Cannon Street trains will again be able to stop at London Bridge and some Charing Cross trains that were diverted to Cannon Street in January 2015 return to their original service pattern. This includes the peak services from Orpington to Blackfriars via Lewisham which return to Charing Cross • 6 trains per hour (tph) Off-Peak Monday to Saturday serving New Eltham, Sidcup, Bexley and Crayford • Reduced Off-Peak journey times between Charing Cross, Dartford and Gravesend • Extension of Victoria to Dartford services, Off-Peak to Gravesend, calling at Greenhithe • 6 tph at peak times for Deptford, Greenwich, Maze Hill and Westcombe Park • 6 tph at peak times for West Dulwich, Sydenham Hill, Penge East, Kent House and Beckenham Junction • Southeastern will operate the peak service between Beckenham Junction and Blackfriars via Herne Hill. The service has been enhanced to 5 trains in the morning and evening peaks • Additional peak services calling at Denmark Hill for Victoria • Additional 698 seats from Ashford to St Pancras on high speed services in the morning peak • 2 tph Gillingham to Charing Cross service operated by Southeastern will be replaced by a 2 tph Rainham to Luton service via London Bridge and St Pancras operated by GTR Thameslink We would appreciate your feedback on the draft timetable by 2359 on 9 August 2017.

Southeastern May 18 Timetable Public Consultation London Victoria to Orpington via Herne Hill The service is very different to today’s timetable, as services are now timed to integrate with the new GTR Thameslink services. • 2 tph Victoria to Orpington all stations via Herne Hill • 2 tph Victoria to Bromley South all stations via Herne Hill. Previously these trains ran through to Orpington, however a new GTR Thameslink service will operate from Kentish Town to Orpington via Catford • A small number of Mainline services will stop additionally at Kent House and West Dulwich during the AM peak to facilitate calling patterns on some Metro services An amended calling pattern will be operated in the AM peak direction, to help address the current levels of poor performance and overcrowding. Therefore some trains will omit calls, however these stops are subsequently picked up by stopping mainline services additionally which operate over this route. Services calling at all stations are still maintained to provide links for local and schools traffic. Southeastern will commence operating: • 5 AM peak services from Beckenham Jn to Blackfriars, calling at all stations via Herne Hill • 3 AM contra peak services from Blackfriars to Beckenham Jn calling at Herne Hill only • 5 PM peak services from Blackfriars to Beckenham Jn, calling at all stations via Herne Hill • 3 PM contra peak services from Beckenham Jn to Blackfriars calling at Herne Hill only These services are currently operated by GTR Thameslink. 7. Southeastern May 18 Timetable Public Consultation Greenwich and North Kent line via Woolwich The times services over this route have been amended to integrate the new GTR Thameslink services between Rainham and Luton. The principle changes are: • 2 tph GTR Thameslink Luton to Rainham via London Bridge, Greenwich and Dartford calling at all stations from London Bridge except Woolwich Dockyard, Erith and Belvedere • 2 tph Cannon Street to Cannon Street circular service via Greenwich and Bexleyheath • 2 tph Cannon Street to Cannon Street circular service via Greenwich and Sidcup • 2 tph Charing Cross to Dartford via Lewisham and Woolwich calling all stations • The Southeastern service between Charing Cross and Gillingham via Lewisham and Woolwich will be replaced by the new GTR Thameslink service to Rainham • There are no direct Off-Peak services from Cannon Street to Dartford. Passengers will be required to interchange at London Bridge • At Peak times 6 tph to Deptford, Greenwich, Maze Hill and Westcombe Park has been restored • (2 tph Thameslink and 4 tph Southeastern services from Cannon Street). • At peak times Southeastern services will continue to serve Higham and Strood • Off-Peak GTR will provide a 2 tph service from these stations 8. Southeastern May 18 Timetable Public Consultation Bexleyheath line Services are retimed to integrate with the new GTR Thameslink services. The peak timetable is broadly similar to today’s timetable, however the Off-Peak service is amended as described below: • 2 tph Charing Cross to Dartford via Bexleyheath • 2 tph Victoria to Gravesend via Bexleyheath calling at all stations to Dartford, then Greenhithe. This creates new through journey opportunities for passengers with a direct service from Gravesend and Greenhithe to Denmark Hill and Victoria • 2 tph Cannon Street to Cannon Street circular service via Bexleyheath and Greenwich Sidcup line A new service will be introduced to operate over this route during the Off-Peak period to increase service to 6 tph: • 2 tph Charing Cross to Gravesend running fast from London Bridge to New Eltham, then Sidcup, Bexley, Crayford and all stations to Gravesend This creates a journey time of • 38 minutes Charing Cross to Dartford.

  • Response to the Consultation Document
    RESPONSE TO THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT: “A new approach to rail passenger services in London and the South East” Introduction 1. This response from concentrates on matters affecting the users of the four stations on the Greenwich line (Deptford, Greenwich, Maze Hill, and Westcombe Park). We do not comment on matters that only affect other areas of London and the South East. 2. Our response also takes account of the announcement made on 21 January 2016 that responsibility “for inner London rail services that operate wholly or mainly within Greater London” will transfer to TfL. The precise services or geographical area are not specified, but, for the purposes of our response about services on this line, we have assumed it includes all our trains except for a few peak hour services that extend beyond Dartford 3. Latest ORR figures of estimated station usage show that, in 2014/15, there were 7.1m users of these four stations, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year. This number will certainly continue to rise as a result of large housing developments in the Greenwich and Deptford area. Since 2014, 7,080 new homes have either been built, or are being built, in the vicinity of at least one of the four stations. A further 15,000 are planned for North Greenwich which will impact on Maze Hill and Westcombe Park. Greenwich is a major tourist destination for London and home to the University of Greenwich and Trinity/Laban and other educational establishments, with over 38,000 students. The proposed cruise liner terminal at Enderby’s wharf will also add pressure.

  • Network Rail Long Term Planning Process
    Network Rail Long Term Planning Process Kent Route Study – Guidance Note Ashford Joint Transport Board - September 2015 Objectives The Long Term Planning Process (LTPP) is a new process for long term planning of the rail network and follows on from the Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS) programme that was completed by Network Rail on behalf of the rail industry. The LTPP will build on the successes of the RUS programme but will look further into the future over the next 30 years so that the rail industry can plan now for the forecast growth in demand. The objectives of the LTPP are to: • Facilitate strategic planning of the rail network taking into account views of the rail industry, funders, specifiers and customers; • Develop options to meet future demand through market studies, cross- boundary analysis and route studies; • Consider views of local stakeholders and align with their strategic goals; • Recognise how the rail industry can support and drive economic growth; and • Fulfil Network Rail’s license obligations to plan the future capability of the network. Market Studies The market studies are the first part of the LTPP and commenced in April 2012. There are four market studies, three of which look at passenger services and one which looks at freight. They are: London and South East, Regional Urban, Long Distance and Freight market studies. The market studies have two key outputs, firstly to forecast future rail demand over the next 10 and 30 years, and secondly, to develop conditional outputs for future rail services which can support delivery of their strategic goals.

  • Passenger Information During the 'Beast from the East' and Storm
    Passenger information during the ‘Beast from the East’ and Storm Emma in March 2018 July 2018 Passenger information during the ‘Beast from the East’ and Storm Emma, March 2018 Rail passengers in much of England, Scotland and Wales faced widespread disruption to their journeys in March 2018 because of snow and ice. The weather was dubbed the ‘Beast from the East’ and was followed closely by Storm Emma. Much of the country was hit by the coldest temperatures since 2013, with yellow and amber weather warnings for snow and ice being issued in several areas. Red alerts, the most severe warning – indicating a potential risk to life – were also issued for South West England, South Wales and Scotland. More background information from the Met Office is provided in Appendix B. The way train operators deal with service disruption is the biggest factor influencing why passengers are dissatisfied with their journey overall. Transport Focus research demonstrates a clear link between passengers’ views about disruption handling and how well train companies provided information. As a result, Transport Focus has worked with the industry for many years to improve provision of information during disruption. When widespread disruption occurs on the rail network, we review what and how information was provided to passengers. The reviews are then used to press for further improvement. On the afternoon of Friday 2 March, when the disruption was arguably at its peak, we captured information provided to passengers on the National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website and individual train company websites. The screen shots in Appendix A provide a thorough snapshot of the information available to passengers at the time1.
