Presumably the 24 tph service plan applies only to the peak period, and probably only to the busiest single hour. Current peak services to and from London Bridge (main fast tracks) in the busiest hour (8AM/5PM): Brighton 3/4; (including also Thameslink services via Tulse Hill) Eastbourne 2/1; Littlehampton 1/1; Bognor via Horsham 1/1; Billingshurst 1/0; Three Bridges 1/0; Three Bridges and Reigate 0/1; (divides @Redhill) Reigate 1/0; East Grinstead 3/3; Uckfield 2/1; (diesel) Dorking 0/1; Guildford 0/1; Caterham 1/0; Tattenham Corner and Caterham 2/2; (divides @Purley) TOTAL 18/16. Current off-peak services to and from London Bridge (main fast tracks): Brighton 4; Caterham 2; Tattenham Corner 2; (extends to Charing Cross) Tunbridge Wells via Redhill 1; Horsham via Redhill 1; TOTAL 10. So in most cases the London Bridge services already do supplement the Victoria services, often in the peak hours only. Currently the only 12-car trains are those serving Eastbourne, Littlehampton, Bognor, and a few serving Brighton. |
