Posted by Peter Rosa on Tue Nov 2 09:02:02 2004, in response to Re: London's five-year plan, posted by Fytton on Tue Nov 2 07:44:13 2004. When I lived in Brighton in my childhood, we had 1 tph non-stop Victoria-Brighton, one semifast Victoria-Brighton (calling Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Three Bridges?? and Haywards Heath - Gatwick Airport wasn't important then), and two slow (one from Victoria, one from London Bridge) all stations from Three Bridges on. Total of 4 tph into Brighton. I'm not sure how frequent the Eastbourne/Worthing service was the - maybe 1 tph on each route but not dividing, giving a total of 6 tph down the Brighton main line as against 9 tph now.I've gotten the idea that Brighton today has become somewhat of a commuter suburb to London, so the increased train service makes sense. |
