The question that I am yet to hear a satisfactory response to is this:
Why is it that every single time Southern have a staffing crisis, the Caterham/Tattenham Corner branches are the first to be hacked back? On the CAT branch, we automatically lose our semi-fast services, in favour of retaining the stoppers, despite the fact that the vast majority of the Zone 1-5 stations have a direct bus service to Central London, or duplication of services by either London Overground or the Victoria-London Bridge services?
The Zone 1-5 stations and the Brighton Mainline seem to be the priority for Southern, and stuff the branches. Even the EGR line seems to get an unfair share of hits, despite the fact that the Uckfield services could be adjusted to serve more stations.......
