local rail cuts campaign news
Here is some more news about the campaign to save our direct rail services into central London.
CONTINUING CUTS
Our latest flyers spell out the significance of the effect, on each of our local stations, of the continuing cuts. For example, from Peckham Rye the services are being cut in HALF:
- Last year there were 8 trains an hour from Peckham Rye to London Bridge, now there are 6. In 2012 there will be 4.
- Victoria services face new cuts. There are 4 an hour now. In 2012 there will be 2 in the day, and 0 in the evening.
Here in our A5 flyer you can see the effect on each of the Southwark stations.
FLYERS - GET THE MESSAGE OUT
We need to get the message out to all who use our local stations. We have designed some A6 pocket size flyers that you can print out for your own local station.
- Can you carry some with you in your pocket or bag, and give them out to fellow rail users at your local station whenever you travel?
- where better to find people interested in this, than in your own local station?
