At the timetable change services on the Tonbridge - Redhill line were transferred from Southeastern to Southern (and reduced to hourly). In the run up to this station signs on the line were replaced by those to Southern design, but in a short term identity crisis were overbranded Southeastern.

Other changes are fast trains to Horsham and Chichester during the peaks, six trains an hour (previously four) between London and Redhill - this includes the Reigate and Tonbridge services featured above, four trains an hour serving Coulsdon South (previously two) and The Brighton - Watford service becoming an East Croydon - Milton Keynes service (though currently only as far as Watford Junction).
