 | | London TravelWatch today expressed concern that the Department for Transport (DfT) has yet again delayed any decisions on the future of the Brighton Main Line, and issued yet another consultation, Implementation of the Brighton Main Line Route Utilisation Strategy, but welcomes the fact that the DfT has listened to, and is acting on, passengers' views. |
 | | We are pleased that the DfT has corrected an analytical error of the original document, that heavy crowding on the coastal trains is between East Croydon and London, not at Gatwick Airport - an error that is fundamental in deciding the future of this line. |
 | | We are also pleased that the long-standing issue of poor off-peak services on the Redhill corridor has, at the least, been recognised. |
