 <title>London Mayor backs need for more Victoria services</title>
 <link>http://www.bellenden.net/srug/news/london-mayor-backs-need-more-victoria-services</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Found in the Archives of February 2012 -&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;/sites/default/files/mayor%20to%20SRUG%2013%20Feb%202012%20.pdf&quot;&gt;this letter from London Mayor Boris Johnson &lt;/a&gt;supporting the SRUG claim to regain&amp;nbsp;a full 7 day &amp;amp; evening service to&amp;nbsp;Victoria. Now we have lost the full week service of two tph from London Bridge to Victoria, with the demise of the South London Line in December 2012,&amp;nbsp;we need to remind him and TfL of this, and ask what they will do to make it happen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
