Not to divert the thread, but more to the point is the lack of trains from Battersea Park in the direction of Wandsworth Road. And no through trains to/from Victoria from Wandsworth Road.

It used to be that you could get trains into South East London from Battersea Park, a few went round to London Bridge. But now there are none scheduled during the day (there are a few really early in the morning, and late at night - but I think this is just so they don't entirely lose the routes). Then they ripped up the tracks so there could be no through trains to/from Victoria, and more or less stopped any trains to/from Wandsworth Road. I do see trains on the route, but they aren't timetabled.

The suggested route to get a train service into SE London is:

Get a bus from Battersea Park to Wandsworth Road.

Catch a train from Battersea Park to Clapham Junction, then get another one to Wandsworth Road.

Trains to/from Victoria to/from Wandsworth Road use a line parallel to skirt around Battersea Park.

This is bad news!

I'll definitely object.

Do you know where to find more info about this? The link has a lot of info but difficult to make much sense of it, can't easily see Queenstown Rd mentioned anywhere.

There's a consultation underway about reducing the number of trains from QTRB station from 7/hr to 4/hr. For anyone who commutes round there this is not good news. The consultation document (which is not at all clear what the change is) is here:
https://www.southwesternrailway.com/con ... nsultation

The email address to write to, to say what you think about this (ludicrous) idea is here:
timetable.feedback@swrailway.com.

Deadline is 22 December. Please consider. Thanks
