service: Blackfriars-St Pancras

While Blackfriars station is being rebuilt trains can’t terminate there and so they have to go further to St Pancras, Luton/Bedford/St. Albans and beyond. Up to Blackfriars and City Thameslink they are run by Southeastern. After that they are run by First Capital Connect. The future of these services from 2011 is dependent on the terms of the future Thameslink franchise set by the Department for Transport (DfT). Before inviting train operators to bid for the new franchise, the DfT will consult all relevant stakeholders including rail user groups. We need to make it clear to all concerned how much we value this service and want it to remain.

At a meeting of rail user groups at Blackfriars 5th May 2010, Southeastern Rail gave assurances that the current service from Sevenoaks via Nunhead, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill to St Pancras and beyond would continue. This service was reintroduced just last year after being cut following rail privatisation.

We now enjoy a fabulous service from Nunhead, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill to Blackfriars and St Pancras, Luton/Bedford/St. Albans and beyond. This is the consequence of the reconstruction of Blackfriars station. While it is being rebuilt trains can’t terminate there and so they have to go further. These trains come from Sevenoaks. Up to Blackfriars and City Thameslink they are run by Southeastern. After that they are run by First Capital Connect. But the service is not guaranteed to remain after 2011.
