London Bridge is closed 23/8 to 31/8


TB2

Recommended Posts

London Bridge (Southern) station is closed for nine days from Saturday 23rd to Sunday 31st August 2014. Trains from East Dulwich will start and finish at South Bermondsey during this period. This will be very disruptive to people travelling to the City and Canary Wharf. Suggest anybody not on holiday that week goes to www.tfl.gov.uk and replans their journey.


The number 40 bus goes direct from East Dulwich to London Bridge. Also worth getting the East London Line from Denmark Hill or Brockley to Canada Water for Canary Wharf (there'll be extra services from Brockley). The 42 bus from Sunray Avenue is also a good link to City Hall, Tower Hill, Aldgate and Liverpool Street.

Thanks. At least as significant seems to be that during the evening peak - from 1600-1900 - the number of trains from London Bridge to Peckham Rye / East Dulwich has been reduced to 4 per hour from 6 per hour. The remaining ones are not spaced evenly either, with 20 minute gaps between some trains.

More through platforms, less terminating platforms.

Well spotted, thanks for sharing the link. However, from reading the document it appears slightly differently.


7:31 is the time of the train departing West Croydon. This is the 08:00 service from East Dulwich which will still run but then terminate at South Bermondsey.

8:15 is the time of the train departing Beckenham Junction, which is the 08:40 service from East Dulwich. This also will terminate at South Bermondsey.


As djaq2000 pointed out, there's also the loss of the 17:20, 17:50, 18:20 and 18:50 from London Bridge (which will start at South Bermondsey). However, the other services out of London Bridge have been slightly retimed in order to spread the load.


Not so much impact if you are connecting to other services before LBG, but if your commute is from Dulwich to London Bridge, then that's a sizeable impact. The key peak services now will be:

People in the city might find it walkable from Whitechapel or Shoreditch. Also trains from DH/PR to E&C, Blackfriars, Thameslink, and Farringdon. Plus the good old number 40 bus. Yeah it's a pain, but at least there are plenty of other options.

No you don't get charged extra as Clapham High Street / Clapham North is classed as an Out of Station Interchange (OSI). In fact going this route is likely to be cheaper than going by London Bridge National Rail. So Denmark Hill - Moorgate for example is on Oyster PAYG ?4.10 peak and ?3.50 off peak going by National Rail at London Bridge but go via Clapham High Street / Clapham North it is ?2.80 peak and ?2.20 off peak. So if you currently do East Dulwich to somewhere in the City might be worth going to Denmark Hill instead

    • There's a hint on what happened here but see nothing else https://www.cio.com/article/2069427/payment-processing-outages-at-uk-retailers-raise-reliability-issues-for-cashless-transactions.html      
    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended.
