I'm really looking forward to it. If it works. I commute Brighton to Victoria, currently using the 06:30 up and the 18:00 down. If the new timetable works, I can get the 06:44 up and still get to work at the same time, and the 17:59 gets back to Brighton 10 minutes earlier than the current 18:00
I do feel sorry for commuters from intermediate stations though, as their service looks to have deteriorated.
If you can find a train, possibly. Most routes seem to have less trains.
I'd imagine the 1st week will be a mess as drivers get used to different routes, times etc.
I'd say that Brighton to London (and stops along that line) commuters are the winners from this. It's the West and East coast service (Littlehampton & Eastbourne / Hastings) that will lose out.
Fair enough, I hadn't looked at those I must admit. My assumption was based on the GatExp services to and from Brighton & Victoria having fewer stops.

More trains for me, slightly better times and some missing out London Road too so quicker journey.
Assuming it will be a mess for a few days whilst trains get in the right place.
I'm generally happy.
