East Croydon - Bletchley on the weekend

[GodAtum]

Before lockdown I used to get the direct service from East Croydon - Bletchley. Are they doing engineering work this month, as the planner says I need to change at Euston?

It looks like the Southern direct service only runs between Clapham Junction and Milton Keynes.

It looks like the Southern direct service only runs between Clapham Junction and Milton Keynes.

It hasn’t run through north of Watford Junction or south of Clapham Jn for most of the last 6 months, I think it’s been a long term COVID change, and hasn’t quite ended yet. There’s a recent thread about it not running through to MK on Saturdays.

GTR - Clapham to Milton Keynes service now terminating at Watford on Saturdays

Hi, just wondered if anyone knew why GTR don't come up to Milton Keynes at weekends anymore, it used to be the case on Sundays but now seemingly Saturdays too they spin at Watford? Thanks.

(This isn’t actually a fares matter though?)

if you search via Kensington Olympia, you will get the route, but changing at Clapham Junction and Watford Junction. Cheaper than via Euston

Thanks but that's on a Tuesday, not a weekend.

Where in that OP does it say you're travelling at a weekend?

The thread title is "East Croydon - Bletchley on the weekend" - but I would say that it's more helpful to include all relevant information in the body of any message.

Are there any Southern services on a weekend anymore?

Only as far north as Watford Junction. Which has always been the case on Sundays but during Covid has been the case on Saturdays too.

Ahhhh, missed that. Agree the body is the best place for important details

Are there any Southern services on a weekend anymore?

Yes, between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction.

Thanks all, I hope they bring back the ECR-Bletchley service.
