There is a peak time train that splits/joins at Lewes (Victoria - Seaford/Ore) http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/W60370/2018/08/10/advanced http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/W69075/2018/08/13/advanced

Class 378 to Highbury & Islington

Now its been a few weeks, how's the new Southern timetable doing compared to the Thameslink debacle?

Brighton & Hove Buses 28,29,29B (The 'Regency Route'), are limited stop between Brighton Churchill Square and Coldean Lane (just outside Falmer) The 29X is a peak service that is limited stop for its whole journey between Brighton and Tunbridge Wells

London Bridge - Uckfield peak services, especially when they are short formed (sometimes 2 vice 10!)

Interesting, thanks. I did notice that 1H99 the 1810 London Bridge to Littlehampton service is still a Southern service (and presumably still 12-377). I wonder if any people unhappy with the new trains and change in 'operator' may migrate temporarily to this service rather than the two before.

Am I right in thinking some diagrams start tomorrow on some London Bridge - West Coastway and London Bridge - Horsham services?
