[@AhtNFG]

You forgot lewisham from the description

[@mrhaggit]

Indeed i did

[@mrhaggit]

thanks for mentioning

[@babatunde4795]

I never understood how the announcements are set, can anyone tell me how?

[@mrhaggit]

Just done when the driver puts the train code in (each service has a code) which then shows the stations it’s calling at (basically automatically)

[@babatunde4795]

@@mrhaggit you mean when they put the code in the gsmr?

[@mrhaggit]

@@babatunde4795 yes train headcode which then comes up with service I believe

[@southerntransport466]

I think SE should bring back this service but keep TLK one that goes Rainham to Luton via Greenwich

[@mrhaggit]

Yes I see what you mean

[@southerntransport466]

Nice announcement

[@alexpeak16]

Ditch the Thameslink one on the spot, it's so slow and ploddy. Bring the SE one back. Nobody wants to travel on Class 700 ironing board seats down to Rainham. Think SE still do a Charing Cross to Gillingham run, it's only one a day in each direction during rush hour and it's via Hither Green and Sidcup rather than Woolwich.

[@lewisculverwell4509]

they should have the 375 units working the charing cross to Gillingham services

[@mrhaggit]

All of the 375s are already occupied on the mainline routes so they should use 465s as they are the only spare ones to ouse.

[@adamstripreports9538]

m8 this route is a bloody surburban service

TheTrainGuyRBLX actually the CX-Gillingham service is a strange one, it runs too far outside London to be just a metro service yet not quite far enough to be qualify as a Mainline service, i know in the days of Connex this was a mainline service, I think the electrostars should be kept to Kent Coast routes and perhaps updated a 465 to look more premium for this service, sadly however this service is set to go to Thameslink as an all stations service 😕
