Josh Babarinde, MP for Eastbourne, announced the restoration of the direct train service to London Bridge from Eastbourne, starting December 15.

Babarinde campaigned for the restoration by writing to rail authorities and gathering community support through a petition. He expressed gratitude to GTR for their cooperation and believes that this service will greatly benefit local commuters and visitors alike.
