This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to prevent the removal of direct train services to Cannon Street from Hastings. More details

Submitted by Mr Ian Shapton – Deadline to sign up by: 06 June 2010 – Signatures: 224

More details from petition creator

Network Rail proposes that direct services to Cannon Street should cease to run from the year 2015.

All Hastings Line trains will run to Charing Cross non-stop through London Bridge

The outcome will be that City commuters using the Hastings line will either have to go to Waterloo or Charing Cross; or change at Tunbridge Wells to go to Blackfriars

This proposal will have dire consequences for the villages between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings and has serious implications in terms of their desirability for City workers

Not having access to a direct return service from Cannon Street is also likely to mean that not all passengers will get seats from London.

Having the option to go to Cannon St is important unless in future all services stop at London Bridge
