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

--- Bob Robinson said...

IIRC The renewed public
inquiry was to be formally opened on 6th September 2005 and is
expected to last for about two months.IIUC a key contribution to the
cost of Thameslink is now going to come through the complete
redevelopment of London Bridge Station with substantial office and
retail development built over the train decks.



London Bridge through platforms will increase from 6 to
9, with a corresponding reduction in terminating platforms from 9 to
6.This means that in the morning peak hour terminating services will
decrease from 29 to 18.


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?
