Southern Rail Train Strike: Tues April 26 & Wed April 27

[KateFord]

Intended train strike meant to start tomorrow. I only found out after finding a leaflet on my train seat from London Bridge. It may affect trains along the East Dulwich route to London Bridge. Just a heads-up for commuters to check before they travel tomorrow as buses and alternate routes expected to be a lot busier.

According to this services from ED will run fine although likely to be busy. Can't imagine services will be unaffected though

Thanks a lot for posting this - hadn't heard a thing and according to the map no ED-Wimbledon service, you've saved Mrs.H being very late for school. Much appreciated.

Cheers,

Rendel

Think the biggest problem will be trying to get home from London Bridge on strike days, will probably be carnage!

Something happened to signals at Blackfriars this morning - not related I'd think :)

[KidKruger]

so how has this been today guys ?

I worked from home today but not sure whether to tomorrow.

Any new on getting into LB from ED station / getting home from LB this evening will be appreciated.

I traveled on the 07:30 train from ED to LB this morning and it was fine, no more or less busy than usual!

[lavelle72]

7.50 this morning ED to LB also fine

[rendelharris]

The map kindly linked by ED_moots above claims there will be no difference to the London Bridge - East Dulwich service, it's only the service thrugh to Wimbledon which won't be running. It does say the London Bridge trains may be more crowded than usual, but I can't actually see how that's possible...

[KidKruger]

So morning looks OK.

Any issues on way home ?

[lagamine98]

Got the 08:10 from ED this morning and it was as normal, maybe a bit less busier than usual.

Tonight got the 17:30 from LB and there was no problem at all. Actually LB station was really quiet, a lot less people around than usual.

[KidKruger]

That's it, I'm on train tomorrow - cheers !

This morning at Peckham Rye didn't look too good so I jumped on the Thameslink. Anybody used Southern to ED or Forest Hill this afternoon?

Southern trains out of Forest Hill were as per normal passenger wise today.

Worked fine coming back on 1730 - usual scene.
