The Greenwich line is a short railway line in South London that follows part of the route of the London and Greenwich Railway, which was the first railway line in London.
From 12 January 2015, services using the Greenwich line were no longer able to serve London Charing Cross. This is due to the Thameslink Programme work, which removed the diamond crossing at Spa Road Junction, located between London Bridge and Deptford. As a result of this, trains using the Greenwich line could no longer reach the lines going into Charing Cross.[3] To compensate for the loss of this, London Cannon Street was given revised service times, with it being open seven days a week and until the end of service.[4]
Service patternsedit
Passenger services on the line are operated by Southeastern using Class 376, 465 & 466 trains and Thameslink using Class 700.
The current service pattern (as of December 2022[update]) is as follows:
