306 Medical Centre in LL appears to have taken on more Doctors. Last year, after the closure of the Dulwich Hospital practice, all of the surrounding practices have struggled with the increased intake.

A very quick journey on the Overground to Hoxton. However there is no service north of Shadwell over the Easter break from Friday to Monday.

In future, contact Network Rail, they're in charge of the area surrounding the railway track.

That's correct as slots will be free at the terminating platforms as those services become part of Thameslink and move across to the through platforms, such as the Tattenham Corner services and the peak Caterham's.

I doubt there's any real difference in whatever BT Wholesale product you buy which the majority of the ISP's use. Sky and TalkTalk have their own equipment at the Dulwich exchange with no traffic shaping during the evening.

As part of the works tonight, Routes 363 and N63 won't be able to serve Underhill Road, Wood Vale, Forest Hill Road and Peckham Rye (as far as Barry Road) from 9pm-5am tonight.

The Sky status page is no longer showing the fault in Dulwich.

There are problems across London for TalkTalk fibre customers too.

James, The overhead corridor/bridge was totally unsuitable for the amount of passengers who used it. There were times, especially during delays when it'd become overcrowded to crush proportions. There was an OSI (out of station interchange) between the Southern and Southeastern platforms which passengers could use instead of the walkway. The new basement concourse under the Southern and Southeastern platforms will be a major improvement on the 1970's dank footbridge which now only remains on the Cannon St platforms.

TfL will be undertaking resurfacing works on the South Circular in LL and London Road between The Grove and Taymount Rise in Forest Hill on Sunday to Thursday nights between 2100-0500 from next Monday 14th March for approximately six weeks. Temp traffic lights and side road closures will be enforced during each section of the work.

BT are also buying EE as well. The mobile phone side will certainly be run like Plusnet at arms length, although it's very likely broadband customers will merge with Plusnet.

100 meg? Good luck!

It's a bit of a walk though. I used to change between those lines to work at Royal Oak as you have to go up the escalator, cross the Met platforms, then the footbridge to the H&C/Circle platforms.

It is currently, but the Rye Lane branch is destined to move inside a retail shop. Same for the other locally threatened branches in Walworth Road and Sydenham. The issue is with Rye Lane is that all the chains are closer to the existing PO on Peckham High Street, which leaves ASDA (a distinct possibility), Tesco Express or an independent store with adequate space for at least three counters. An off the ball suggestion would be for the PO to move into the UCKG church/Help Centre. They have plenty of space.

And it's also worth noting that Post Office Ltd doesn't run all of the post offices, most are run by independent traders who receive a subsidy for operating the businesses. The preferred model is to have loss making main post offices move into existing retail outlets, such as WHSmith in Forest Hill. WHSmith has been one of the main beneficiaries of PO moves, which has certainly saved some of their retail shops.

The argument for closing surely is that there's already a post office in Peckham on the High Street opposite the bus station. However, despite this, losing the post office will be a big blow to that end of Rye Lane.

Overground to Canada Water, Jubilee to Baker Street, then cross platform change to Paddington on the Bakerloo line.

Have you got fibre or standard broadband? Fibre should be fine, while standard broadband is affected by how far you are from the exchange. The Melford Road end of Wood Vale is closer to the exchange than at FHR or by Hornimans.

I'd assume when the Charing Cross platforms open as part of the blockade is where the stairs/escalators/lifts are to the basement concourse. Platforms 10-14 also have parts blocked off for this reason.

The problem with Thameslink is there's no room for improvement on the trains on the Wimbeldon loop. Thanks to the campaign where people campaigned for a through service, rather than terminating at Blackfrairs, there's no scope for TfL to replace the services with London Overground trains, nor for Thameslink to improve the service on either the Catford loop or Wimbledon/Sutton services. When the Thameslink works finish, there will be plenty of trains at London Bridge, which will be much more than the old 4tph service, yet PR/DH and Nunhead, along with Herne Hill won't see any of the advantages bar a nice new train. Those who use those poor 'local' TL trains may find it more viable to use Southern into London Bridge, then change for Thameslink for stations such as Blackfriars and St. Pancras instead from Dec 2018.

The interchange to Charing Cross at London Bridge returns in August. When it opens, instead of walking to the gateline, there will be escalators, stairs and a lift mid platform which takes you to the new basement concourse which will take you to the new Charing Cross platforms which have been built where Platform 8 used to be. This will be a major improvement on the old dank corridor and waiting area which would get crushed during the peaks. However, there will be no direct service to Cannon Street for 18 months when this opens.

Demand for the 42 north of Camberwell Green is very high, it's a route that should have been given extra capacity years ago. It'll almost certainly get busier south of Kings as it becomes a local direct route to Sainsbury's. If the Red Post Hill option isn't viable, then the only solution is to either divert the route via Herne Hill or scrap the route south of Camberwell Green as I can't see TfL not going for the single decker option.

Derwent Grove bus stop on East Dulwich Grove is a lot closer to Sainsbury's and ED station with a short walk down Melbourne Grove. Not practical for those with special needs, but it's the closest to them currently.

The much improved interchange at London Bridge should negate the need for a direct service.
