Commuters are laying into Southeastern about timetable changes after several stations in south east London have suffered disruption this morning.
Passengers from Bromley South, Lewisham and Catford, among other stations, have been tweeting about their disrupted journeys as the new timetable comes into effect.
Although Southeastern maintains its timetable is largely running to plan this morning, passengers have expressed concerns about the new schedule.
Some commuters have reported enormous queues outside Catford station as confusion mounts over which services are running, and others have complained about the lack of fast services from Bromley South to London Victoria.
New timetable an absolute disaster from Bromley South commuters to Victoria!

@TLRailUK oh dear, you should see the queues at the station at Catford. You cancelled the 8:05, next train isn't until 8:25 and due to your 'improvements' you've got 4 trains worth of people waiting for it as there isn't another train until nearly 9 am. You've made a mistake.

Southeastern has said it will take all feedback from customers on board to keep improving the new timetable and make it work for as many people as possible.
The new service is part of a multi-billion pound investment by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to put on more services to cope with more passengers travelling each day.
