If we aren't getting back to 6tph on main routes any time soon during off-peak periods, nor returning to the 22-minute timetable at peak times, then there is no good reason not to put into the timetable trains that run from 05:30 - 23:59 every day, at almost perfectly even intervals, with peak services overlaid.
Look at, for example, Abbey Wood to London. At peak times:
- xx:20 Cannon St direct
- xx:28 Luton
- xx:35 Cannon St via Lewisham
- xx:45 Cannon St direct
And repeat to 50, 58, 05, 15.
So that's a gap through Greenwich of about 8, 17, 5 minutes. 17 minute gap.
As for Bexleyheath to London. At peak:
- xx:17 Cannon St direct
- xx:25 Charing Cross direct
- xx:38 Victoria
- xx:43 Cannon St direct
And repeat to 47, 55, 08, 13.
So a gap through, say, Eltham of 8, 13, 5, 4 minutes.
The gap between Cannon Street trains is 4-26-4-26 minutes. This is ridiculous.
