Southern Rail should '˜reconsider' timetable change affecting school children
and live on Freeview channel 276
East Worthing station’s platform was widened and extended three years ago because of overcrowding on the platforms and this change of timetable can only make matters worse and increase crowding on the platforms and trains.
From Monday, July 16, Davison will finish at 3.05pm so that the pupils can catch a earlier train at East Worthing station.

Hide AdWell done, the head teacher of Davison, for reacting swiftly to the possible danger by cutting the school day and releasing the pupils early.
Another black mark for the private rail companies who seem to be more interested in dividends and bonuses than running a safe and efficient service for their passengers.
I would urge Southern Rail to reconsider this timetable change as a matter of urgency on health and safety grounds.
Cllr Mike Barrett
Selden ward, Worthing Borough Council, Cranworth Road, Worthing
