loss of East Croydon-London Bridge service
Email from Southwark Rail Users Group (SRUG)
Do you use rail services to London Bridge or services to East Croydon from our local stations? Do you know that the East Croydon to London Bridge two trains an hour service, which goes through East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Queens Rd, and North Dulwich stations, is being cut in December? This cuts our local link to East Croydon and Gatwick, and cuts two trains an hour to London Bridge. If this affects you, whichever constituency you are in, please respond to Tessa Jowell's on-line survey - see below. If you live in Camberwell & Peckham constituency you could also usefully email Harriet Harman MP
Southwark Rail Users Group (SRUG) covers rail routes and stations serving Peckham Rye, Nunhead, South Bermondsey, Queens Road, Denmark Hill, East Dulwich, North Dulwich.

EMAIL FROM TESSA JOWELL MP
I hope you do not mind me sending you this email but it is about an issue that I know is of importance to many people living in my constituency.
I am concerned that a new rail timetable that commences on 14 December will remove two trains per hour from the off-peak timetable on the service running to London Bridge through Gipsy Hill, West Norwood, Tulse Hill, North Dulwich and East Dulwich.
I opposed these changes with Southern Rail and the Department for Transport but, surprisingly, a passenger representative group supported them and they will now go ahead. The new timetable provides four off-peak trains to and from London Bridge every hour instead of the current six. The trains to be removed are the ones that run every half hour from London Bridge to/from Smitham via East Croydon. The peak service is unaffected.
I want to hear your views about how these changes will affect you. Please take a few minutes to complete my survey by clicking on the link below or by pasting it into your browser:
www.tessajowell.net
You can be assured that I will use your response to support local rail users in getting the best possible service when timetables are being revised.
With best wishes,
Tessa Jowell
(Member of Parliament for Dulwich & West Norwood)

RLSAG (Rye Lane & Station Action Group) October 08 minutes
The minutes of the 22nd October 2008 Rye Lane & Station Action Group (RLSAG) meeting are attached for information.
Summary
This was the 10th RLSAG meeting on the Group's 4th anniversary. It was very well attended by residents with nearly 50 present, and also other stakeholders - Network Rail, Southern Rail, and the Council. The rail companies reported on current improvements to the railway infrastructure in and around the station and tracks, and the Council presented a report on how to achieve the transformation of the station area including the new piazza. Peckham Vision and The Peckham Society presented ideas on how those very welcome developments would fit into the vision of a transformed central Rye Lane, including the emerging Copeland Cultural Quarter on the site designated for the tram depot. The Council explained that the forthcoming consultations on the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP) provided the context for considering all these ideas. The positive ideas were welcomed by the meeting as realistic ways of transforming the town centre. The obstacles were acknowledged, but also that there was willingness of the Council and community to work together to overcome them.
_____________________________________________
If you are coming to the Southwark Rail Users Group meeting on Monday 17th November, you might find it useful to read these minutes before that meeting, as they include reports on current improvements at Peckham Rye station.
