Welcome to the forums.Can anyone give me clarity on the Wimbledon loop peak frequency post the may changes. The station by station list of changes indicates additional peak services to Blackfriars operated by Southern - but I can't see them in the timetables anywhere...!
This is proving difficult to pin down, but at a quick glance it looks as if there is a peak only SN London Bridge to London Bridge loop service being operated via Wimbledon and Sutton. It has different headcodes either side of Sutton but timings suggest it is the same train. The consultations originally showed this running from London Bridge to Blackfriars via Wimbledon and Sutton, my guess is that there is no platform capacity at Blackfriars until the full 24 tph runs through the Thameslink core section. So there will be delay in diverting to Blackfriars until a few TL terminators are removed to make room.
This RTT link shows the SN trains at Wimbledon, 5 in the morning towards Sutton, and 4 in the afternoon from Sutton.

I’m wondering if they’ll eventually all run in the London Bridge to Blackfriars direction in the morning, and do Blackfriars to London Bridge in the afternoon? Other interpretations are welcome.
