Direct train from London Bridge to two seaside towns to be reinstated | UK | Travel
As of December, passengers will directly access the London Bridge from Eastbourne and Lewes, so that the Pandemik Thameslink service will be restored. This service, which operates on Monday and Thursday, is perfectly suitable for vehicles.
Railway operator Govia Thameslink railway, this movement will significantly simplify the journeys, he said. Before that, according to Timeout, Eastbourne had only one direct service to London Victoria.
Currently, the train is planned to work twice a day. Between Monday and Thursday, the Service will leave Eastbourne at 6.48 and will reach the London Bridge at 8.25. Eastbourne, as in other parts of Southern England, has so far ended in the extraordinary hot air that has brought tourists to the town this summer and has already pressed the stretched transportation services.
The return journey will be left from the London Bridge at 17.03 and comes to Eastbourne at 18.34. The opening journey of this suburban train is planned on December 15, 2025.
For Eastbourne, a trip to Eastbourne can be an option of 17:00 from London, but if you only plan to spend a few days in the coastal town (if you are not ready to return at 8 am the next morning). Reports Kent Live.
Nevertheless, there is much to occupy visitors during a very daily accommodation, such as discovering contemporary art in Towner Eastbourne, traveling around the iconic South Downs on the cliff, or in a satisfying meal in one of the countless independent throwns. However, remember that this service will not only meet the weekend getaways because it works only from Monday to Thursday.
Eastbourne deputy Josh Babar, who defended the restoration of the service, greeted the return of the train as a ‘great victory for the town’.
“I am happy to restore our London Bridge Railway service directly after months of campaigns such as writing to the railway bosses, suppressing the ministers in the House of Commons and collecting thousands of signatures from the Doğuroyalılar.”
Govia Thameslink Railway Customer Service Director Jenny Saunders commented on the challenges of the industry: “Pandemin has a destructive effect on everyone, not at least a railway industry, and our suburban numbers are still decreased on weekdays, but healed.”
“We do everything we can to encourage people back to Rail, the most sustainable form of public transportation.”
Saunders also emphasized the success of the latest initiatives: “The innovative new timeline, which we introduced on the eastern coast two years ago, increased passenger numbers by giving people better services and easier connections.”
