I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the Save The Loop petition - now signed by more than 2,400 local residents.

I have today submitted the petition to Southeastern's Managing Director Steve White, and urged him to restore the half-hourly loop service between the Sidcup and Woolwich Lines in full as early as possible in the New Year.  You can read my letters to Southeastern and to the Minister for Rail here.

I will keep you posted on the campaign and THANK YOU AGAIN for all your support so far.
