London Bridge and Thameslink

Back from Paris today, and staying overnight in London so no need for that CIV ticket. A chance to spy out the works at London Bridge Station as it prepares for the full implementation of Thameslink. Dinner with my sister who told me of her concerns as to how she’ll get to work when the London Bridge to Charing Cross line closes this summer. Best advice from SouthEastern is to work from home. They are saying extra trains will run to Blackfriars but we can’t find any more information as to how many, and where from. The key question is whether SouthEastern will be running extra services on the Lewisham – Peckham Rye – Blackfriars route (that avoids London Bridge) for passengers on the Dartford lines that normally go to Charing Cross? If you know the answer please email chair@senrug.co.uk and share your knowledge.
