Southern Rail have developed an action plan to improve some aspects of travelling to and from some of their stations. Peckham Rye is one of the stations, and the Travel Plan is attached. If you use Peckham Rye station and have any views on this, email SRUG. If anyone is keen to volunteer to monitor how well Southern keep to this plan, please let SRUG know.

PECKHAM RYE STATION
latest news from the Rye Lane & Station Action Group:

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.

Dear rail user

Some us are reviewing the rail services that go through our local stations. This is to identify ideas about changes and irnprovements that could guide our responses to future consultations, or our own initiatives. (This is in addition to whatever we manage to achieve or not on the South London Line - see at end for latest news on this.)

Our current review includes:
* all services to and from the station(s) you use to Victoria, Blackfriars or London Bridge,
* services out of your stations southwards away from central London,
* first and last trains of the day,
* frequencies of peak services mornings and evenings,
* frequencies of off-peak services

FIRST PUBLIC MEETING
SRUG held a lively and informative public meeting on 17th November 2008, about a range of issues facing local rail users. These included the imminent closure of the East Croydon-London Bridge service, the planned closure of the South London Line in 2012, the delays to the planning for the East London Line Extension through Peckham Rye to Clapham Junction, and the state of local stations. Over 70 people were present along with a representative from each of 6 railway companies, and two passenger watchdog organisations. It was a very fruitful discussion which has provided the basis for effective future dialogue. See here for minutes and web links including diagrams and meeting presentations.
