Default London Bridge Masterplan (was: A different ELLX question)

Reduced platforms, decreased services... So, you're saying that if this
"Masterplan" goes ahead, then my local station, Gipsy Hill, could end up
with a _permanently reduced_ service to London Brdge?They'd spend all
that time and money on rebuilding the station just to make the service
_worse_ than before they started!?!

Where is this public enquiry? Can I go there and complain and protest
and get them to stop this nonsense before it's too late?

I believe it highly likely that you could be impacted during the five
year construction period required to rebuild London Bridge - whether
services from Gipsy Hill are permanently impaired after that is a
matter for speculation. Whilst there will be a reduced number of
services terminating at London Bridge there will be an additional 18
Thameslink trains transiting the station. Details of the revised plans
can be accessed from the http://alwaystouchout.com site including
Network Rail's revised submission to the enquiry.
