As you will know, the fast service from Otford and Swanley to London was an election pledge of mine, and with your help, we were able to achieve it.
However, whilst I welcome the further rush hour service in the morning which will commence from the 11 December (and I continue to argue for more rush hour trains returning from London in the evening) I am concerned to hear there appears to have only been four carriages on recent services in the mornings. This has led to unacceptable overcrowding and in the worst case scenario, passengers unable to board.
This is not good enough.
I have today written to Southeastern asking for an urgent explanation and for action to be taken to put this right. I will keep you all updated.
