Save the South London Line Update
There was enormous support across South London for the campaign against the divertion of the South London Line rail service (London Bridge - Victoria via Queens Road Station).
Our London Assembly Member Val Shawcross took the matter up with Mayor Ken Livingstone and secured his agreement for a proper survey to be done of the use of the line. TfL London Rail are carrying out this survey which will give us not just the numbers of passengers using the line but also the purpose of their journey, their origin and final destination. We hope to have this information in a month or two and then meet again with Network Rail.
So if you see people on Queens Road doing a survey please do take part!

It's plain to see that passenger numbers throughout the day are low but the service is always packed for the rush hour.
Could not a compromise be agreed where a London Bridge to London Victoria service is retained between the hours of 7 - 11am and 3 - 7pm Mondays to Fridays. With this reduced service coming alongside a declaration from the transport companies involved to continue with the service for a specified duration before another review at a future point in time.
The buses that pass through Peckham towards Victoria and other areas of Central London are already outragously overcrowded and if this vital rail service were to be scrapped then the buses are an unviable option for Peckham and Nunhead commuters to use as a replacement.
