More Victoria Trains for Crofton Park & the Catford Loop

The Issue

A little while ago now, the Cinderella Line campaign and the local community successfully pushed for services into Victoria during morning peak times on a weekday.

That's helped curtail a lot of commutes but all work and no play isn't fun.

As much as we love where we live, sometimes the bright lights of the West End beckon so imagine if Southeastern put on a star turn and trains from the Cinderella Line went to Victoria during evenings and weekend too?

We want to:

  1. Protect all of the existing services to London Victoria that serve, Nunhead, Crofton Park and Bellingham
  2. See return services introduced from May 2018 in the evenings to serve Crofton Park and Bellingham
  3. See services expanded to serve these stations at weekends to London Victoria to give us a vital connection to central and west London.
  4. Investigate the possibility of running services to and from Victoria to other stations on the Cinderella Line, including Catford, Beckenham Hill and Ravensbourne in line with local station demands

 The Southeastern franchise will be renewed in December 2018 with potentially a new operator running the services.

This is why it's really important for us to protect our current services and secure future ones before this happens to ensure that we are not overlooked if the franchise changes hands.
