Train chaos has continued into its fourth day this rush hour, as services on Southeastern, Thameslink and Southern have faced disruption.
The new timetable, brought in on Sunday, May 20, is designed to offer 400 new services on the Govia Thameslink Railway network every day.
But for many commuters, this improvement is yet to be seen as many have had to change their usual routes to and from work, and faced several cancellations.
One passenger tweeted today that their train - the 8.00am from Beckenham Hill to London Blackfriars - had been cancelled for the fourth day running.
@Se_Railway today is the 4th day that the 08:00am from Beckenham Hill to London Blackfriairs is cancelled. Why is this? I am now going to be late for work today, i am not impressed with your "new" train services just like the last one

Responding to this, Thameslink said the daily cancellation was a result of "short term timetable amendments" while the network gets used to its new schedule.
Train operators have come under fire from hundreds of passengers this week as the new timetable is tested out.
Southeastern, Southern and Thameslink have said they are taking passenger complaints on board.
