The only way I'd agree to humps is if it means those awful 12 Boris Buses are replaced with proper double deckers.

I'm trying to remember what that chippie was called in North Cross Road? My mother's friend worked in there.

EE/Virgin was fine this afternoon at the Grove end of LL.

Lister is not near a train station but > thE Dulwich centre will be. Of which only two stop outside the current hospital, which serve Peckham and Camberwell. The other 4 involve a walk either from East Dulwich Grove/Lordship Lane or Grove Vale/Melbourne Grove which largely serve East Dulwich. Not as great as having six direct bus routes outside the centre. This leaves disabled or older patients either having to wait for a 37 or 42 or slowly walk up the road. While car access is welcomed, there will be a certain percentage who use public transport.

Fine for us in ED, but the bus connections to Dulwich Hospital are nowhere as good as the Lister.

I've double checked, the trains are running to Clapham Junction at x12 and x42 past each hour which go to Victoria from Platform 2. The TfL journey planner is dire for National Rail services.

I've seen the rats in the park next to Sainsbury's.

Wait until the new school opens on East Dulwich Grove, it'll only get worse.

Worth noting if you use the Dartford trains from DH and PR towards Lewisham, these now run via Hither Green and Sidcup and run to Gravesend. So if you want to go to Blackheath or Bexleyheath, a change at Lewisham is now required.

As far as I'm aware, there a no terminating services at Denmark Hill on Monday. They either go to Blackfriars, West Hampstead Thameslink or Luton. The suggestion of using ED station instead to London Bridge, then change for Thameslink there is the more sensible suggestion than waiting around to pile onto an already packed train and then getting off at Blackfriars to change.

The Thameslink 'improvements' are to benefit long distance customers, so they can travel to far flung places like Peterborough and Cambridge. Suburban TL and Southern customers are largely worse off under the changes. For example, Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill no longer have any early morning peak through services to East Croydon, the earliest being 0823 from HOP. School children who go to school in South Croydon lose their through trains to stations between Balham and Selhurst requiring three changes. Norwood Junction sees their services cut to East Croydon to 4tph and so on.

(Please tell me > it?s not!) we need more, not less trains! It's four trains per hour on the Thameslink line, of which two will terminate at Blackfriars.

The worst thing about Three is they don't have 2G back up for voice calls. So you either get 3G (or 4G) or nothing, where as with the other networks, you should be able to use 2G indoors at least if 3/4G doesn't work inside.

Yet the coverage map for 3G and 4G on Three claims to be excellent for indoor and outdoor in the Goose Green area. So that is another work of fiction by them.

207 is above the former Lyttle Minx shop.

Going by the coverage map, 4G is patchy at the southern end of Lordship Lane. 3G seems stronger in ED, but still patchy in parts. I use Virgin (which uses EE) and I have rock solid 4G throughout ED.

The Village branch doesn't appear to be changing, but doesn't have an ATM.

It's the model Barclays use in a lot of their branches now. Basically it becomes a self service bank with a member of staff supervising. It coincides with the closure of their Forest Hill branch as well.

Clearly James is a victim of boundary changes. Although I was in College Ward, James took the time to chat to me away from here about issues that indirectly affected me.

I'm in the new Dulwich Wood Ward and James Barber took the time to talk to me, even though I'm not a constituent. Best of luck.

Really quiet when I voted at the Lordship Lane Estate TRA Hall earlier.

Truly Scrumptious is still going isn't it?

Oh that explains why I've had nothing but leaflets from Labour on the Lordship Lane Estate.

Translated as DF doesn't like Khan, but won't back it up. Right......
