    Well it looks like Southeastern will be utterly shafting me. There are currently 4 Cannon St, 4 Charing Cross and 2 Victoria trains from Welling in the morning peak period. From 2022 apparently there will be 2 Cannon St, 4 Charing Cross and no Victoria trains. So on an already massively overcrowded route they are cutting the number of trains from 10 to 6 and cutting the destinations of those trains from 3 to 2.

    Just when I thought commuting couldn't get any worse!

    I'd be surprised if the number of rush hour trains dropped from 10 to 6, the main document is hard to understand though

    Either way, it's nothing to do with Southeastern, but rather the DfT

    You wait until they halve the number of carriages on each train.
