Rail travel help (impact of proposed changes on local services)

[Galliman]

Does anyone know to what extent the proposed changes to the Denmark Hill route to Victoria/London Bridge will impact on the service from Peckham Rye to either Victoria and or London Bridge? I'm moving to the area very soon and still trying to get to grips with the various routes available. I've tried contacting the rail operators but without much luck!

I'm struggling to find the site, but it's on t'interweb somewhere about proposals to mitigate the loss of the Victoria-London Bridge service.

Basically enough extra journey's will be put on to compensate for the loss in the victoria direction, but I seem to recall London Bridge from Denmark hill may be more of a pain. I think Peckham to LB will again be ok though.

I'll keep looking anyhoo.

No unfortunately everything will not be alright

Take a look at this - http://www.fiona-colley.net/2007/10/save-south-london-line-again.html

doesn't this say that the impact on peckham rye will be minimal as there are already other (and better) lines going to victoria and london bridge? problem comes if you want to go denmark hill to LB, in which case you will have to change at peckham rye.

I think we've been through all this before in other threads but, as I understood it, prior to the ELL extension Phase 2 opening there will be a reduction in Peckham Rye services to London Bridge. And I don't think Phase 2 has budgetary approval yet.

New rolling stock for Denmark Hill commuter services.
