There are three separate timetables covering Southern’s East Coastway route, which some travellers say is confusing.

However, a spokesperson for Southern said they did away with the “old hefty paper version” claiming passengers didn’t like it as it was “too hefty” and the new versions cut down on paper usage and are therefore greener.
