HUNDREDS of people are protesting against plans to cut a direct train
service to central London.
Nearly 300 commuters who use Denmark Hill station have signed a
petition to keep the service - which runs from Victoria to London
Bridge - saying it is vital for the community.

What is the logic of diversions prior to the building of phase two of
the ELL extension. Is this part of the changes consequent on the
Thameslink work?

Its not easy to summarise, this RUS being 200 odd pages, but it looks like
they want the capacity at the terminii to allow increased frequency on
existing longer distnce routes into LB and/or VIC, even before bringing
Thameslink into teh equation. As you say, Ken also wants this route for
Orbirail, so the objectors are going to have a lot of work on...

Is there any particular reason that the objecting people don't want to
travel via extended East London Line, and change at Canada water onto
the Jubilee line?
