Unhappy commuter

With only two weeks to go to new timetable I would like to explain what effect it going to have on Rye commuters.
It all depends on your start time at work. If you have to be into work in London before 8am you now have to catch 06.08 which now get you in office at about 7.30am.
Most people work minimum of 7 hours so unless leave work at exactly at 4 pm it will be really difficult to get to St Pancras for the 16.37 train. So you might as well hang around for another half hour and try for 17.07 which will hopefully get the connection to the Rye shuttle which will get you home at 18.17 or if Rye shuttle is canceled at 18.47.
If you have to start work before 9am you now have to catch 07.08 and will get to Rye earliest 19.17 or 19.47 if the Rye shuttle is cancelled
The new timetable has added hour on each Rye commuter's day, as previously we could have caught the 06.38 and 07.38 in the morning and arriving back to Rye at 17.54 and 18.54.
Lots of Ham Street commuters are talking of driving to Ashford. This is not really viable for Rye commuters. Commuters living on the outskirts of Rye may have the option of going to Robertsbridge and using the Hastings line, but early mornings are not great from there either.
Also there were a lot of commuters who have recently moved to Rye in the last few years and they said the current peak timetable was one of the factors on this decision. It is also making it harder for younger people of Rye who maybe considering becoming future commuters and they may now think it is not worthwhile.
Finally there is also the Ashford to Brighton service and the fact you now have run across a bridge at Hampton Park in 4 mins to get a connecting train, which I know from experience at Ashford that Southern will not hold if the Rye-Hampton Park train is delayed.
For these reasons Rye commuter group and @marshlinktrains will continue to fight for reinstatement of the longer Brighton to Ashford service as a 4 car battery or diesel hybrid service.
I call on members of MLAG, Shrimp, Railfuture and BAAG rail user groups to reject the new May timetable and join with Rye commuters and back our stand.
I ask Rye and Hastings passengers to email amber.rudd.mp@parliament.uk. Saying enough is enough we deserve better and it is time Department of Transport spent some of money promised back in 2014 on Rye and Hastings transport infrastructure.
