Hello, we are moving to the area and I am wondering if there is typically a problem getting on the 8.10am or 8.20am trains to London Bridge? Of course I am expecting standing room only, but are the trains ever so full that is not possible to get on the train at East Dulwich station?

Would agree with BNG that the trains are fine most days at the moment - loads of room and seats at the back of the trains.


Now that London Bridge has completed works on the platforms, and there's an additional exit option towards the middle of the train, people don't tend to crowd into the front two carriages quite as much as they used to.


However, watch hilarity ensue if the train before is cancelled and then a four carriage train turns up :oD

They are actually very good at the moment! Although how long that will last for, I don't know.


If you are within walking distance of Peckham Rye or Denmark Hill then you do have some backup options.. Overground is reliable (and air conditioned!), even if it's unlikely to get you to your final destination. Thameslink trains are unreliable and crowded, but the routes are useful.

they are coolio at the minute to London bridge now that the long term work is panning out. E-Z Cycling still beats the train door to door for an SE22-EC2 run but the train is the hungover option - and cycling is maybe not for the faint hearted

Avoid distractions when driving or riding such as


* loud music (this may mask other sounds)

* trying to read maps

* starting or adjusting any music or radio

* arguing with your passengers or other road users

* eating and drinking

* smoking

It may be worth keeping an eye on Southern as from Sunday, ASLEF drivers will no longer work overtime again. When this last happened, trains from East Dulwich were seriously affected, the worst being 1 train per hour in the morning peak.

I posted a message this afternoon giving National Rail's information about train services tomorrow morning after the dreadful attack last night. For some reason it has been lounged. No idea why. If you need this info please look in the Lounge.

If you go the National Rail website it will show no disruptions to current services and shows the trains running in the morning. Please make sure that you open the message at the top of the page " no trains calling at London Bridge" and view "more details" to see the actual state of play in the morning.

      Exterior Design Gardens - Oliver (Oli) Hawkins

      By Tams · Posted

      In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
