There are calls for train companies covering South-West London to assure people that their reduced timetables are only temporary.

The leader of Merton Council says the reduction in services coincides with a reduction in Northern Line services.

Councillor Mark Allison says Londoners who don’t own cars and low-income families will be hit by the change.

It’s been reduced due to staffing issues caused by the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
