Northern runs a handful of ECS services over that route, as of the timetable reduction starting next week it will be one train a day M-F from Newton Heath to New Mills Central (via Denton, Stockport and Hazel Grove).How will staff retain her route knowledge or is it not for long enough to be an issue?

The Thameslink/GN timetables for next week are on their website, and will be reflected in online planners from tomorrow. I've had a quick look from a Stevenage perspective:It’s similar on GN.
The notable flows are things like Stevenage to Hatfield, Hitchin to Welwyn, Welwyn to London, Hatfield to Finsbury Park.
The Horsham to Peterborough service remains quite busy (in comparative terms!) which makes this a bit of a bad choice for a service cut - the string of new towns north of Hitchin provide a completely different dynamic to the Cambridge branch (which has been largely dead off-peak since March).
The observations from others about Cambridge to Kings Lynn are interesting, not my neck of the woods so not something I’ve really seen. I’d agree that my observations would support the notion that these people are generally not travelling south of Cambridge.
The Thameslink/GN timetables for next week are on their website, and will be reflected in online planners from tomorrow. I've had a quick look from a Stevenage perspective:
On weekdays I expected the additional peak trains to go and for the 15 minute all day interval Thameslink service to remain, but no! The peak extras are retained (hopefully still 365 operated) with one of the Thameslink services removed (a Peterborough - Horsham)
This means places like Huntington, only have an hourly service throughout the day supplemented by the peak extras
Arlesey and Sandy don't get the peak extras so an hourly service only
After 20:00 the two 'fast' trains from Stevenage to London an hour are 15 minutes (xx17 and xx32) leaving a 45 minute gap
Semi fasts (i.e. the trains that call at Knebworth, Welwyn North, WGC, Hatfield, Potters Bar) remain at 30 minute intervals
The inner suburban services via Hertford appear unchanged at 30 minute intervals
On Saturdays the 15 minute all day Thameslink interval is retained so there is a better service on Saturdays than on weekdays, significant at places like Huntingdon and Arlesey
Semi fasts remain at 30 minute intervals
Inner suburban via Hertford unchanged at 30 minute intervals
On Sundays there are two 'fast' trains an hour (unchanged) one to Kings Cross and one through the core
Semi fasts reduced to hourly
Inner suburban via Hertford unchanged at 30 minute intervals

That sounds like fun. Are they planned much in advance? I do hope to be up north this year, perhaps I could fit a diversion in.Also diversionary - did one last year !

Greater Anglia have just published their reductions.
Looks worse than before. Southend pretty much one an hour off peak and every 1hour 20mins on the Southminster branch.
Looks like I'll be driving to work now.

Just ironic that I drive them but probably won't be able to use them to get to work. Last time at least it was a regular 30 minute service on my line. Not random 1hr 20 minute gaps.If you can drive to work then in the short term, unfortunately, that is what the authorities wish you to do.

Thanks. Could be the end for a few 317s although the WA cuts are fairly minor.Greater Anglia have just published their reductions.
