Thameslink from Denmark Hill


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of getting a Thameslink train from Denmark Hill to St Pancras tomorrow at about 7.30am.


A few months ago there were a number of posts complaining about how bad and overcrowded Thameslink services were, especially during the rush hour, but I haven't read any such posts recently. I'd be grateful if people could tell me whether the situation has improved on this service or whether it is still bad.


Many thanks.

It's busy, but certainly the best way to get to St Pancras locally. Lots of people get off there to go to work at Kings, so if you position yourself on the platform near one of the flights of stairs more people generally get off than try to get on. 7.30am is pretty early too, you should be fine.

The 8:16 from Peckham Rye was >5 minutes late today - and rammed solid. Time keeping generally seems to have become a little better since the continuous shambles a couple of months ago. Agree it is unfortunately still the best way to get to Farringdon / St Pancras...

I used to get the 7.34 from Peckham until April when I left my job. Sometimes it was rammed at Peckham & you had to force your way on, sometimes not... and I always felt sorry for people trying to struggle on at Denmark hill. A few people get off at the Elephant, and practically empties by the time it gets to Farringdon....glad I don't commute this way anymore.

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
