Loop line services from Bexley line to Abbey Wood axed

Train services running from Cannon Street along the Bexley line to Abbey Wood were stopped in December as part of large-scale service reductions announced by Southeastern.

Previously passengers from stations on the Bexley line (Bexley, Albany Park and Sidcup stations) could catch a train direct to Abbey Wood, where they could change to Elizabeth line trains to Canary Wharf, the West End and Heathrow.

Passengers along the line now need to travel to Dartford and then change to get to Abbey Wood Station by train.

There was vocal opposition to the change, which was introduced without public consultation.
