Hasn't it always been like that? Certainly there are no direct trains on the current timetable (from May 15th) but as far as I recall it's always been necessary to change at one of the stations between Canada Water and Dalston Junction to get to H&I. Perfectly willing to stand corrected but I really can't remember there ever being a direct service - and I was living in Denmark Hill when the line opened.

I'm pretty sure there was a direct service, because I was mega pissed off when it started.


I used to work in Islington and it was a pain in the **** to get to from ED, so that service would have saved me hours of commuting ......


Sadly I left the job before the train started running .....

I stand corrected by Mrs H - when she was working up near H&I four years ago apparently there was a direct train from Denmark Hill. My bad.

The volume and extent of overground trains has actually increased over time, I suspect some linkages have been rationalised - I would hope on the basis of passenger surveys. The H&I trains run regularly through Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park to Canada Water and then up - so those on the PR route can readily change there. PR is on an east:west route, which crosses the north:south route (Croydon to H&I) at Canada Water - making that an interchange has some logic to it, and probably allows a larger number of trains to serve both routes.

They're turning some trains around at Dalston Junction - afaik the eventual plan is to have 20 trains per hour between Surrey Quays and Dalston, with half turning at Dalston and half at Highbury. But with 10 an hour to Highbury, it's never a long wait even if you have to change.

I thought the plan was to add another two trains per hour on the Clapham Junction and Crystal Palace branches, this would be 20 trains per hour between Dalston Junction and Surrey Quays.


New Cross and West Croydon would be left with 4 trains per hour each, Clapham Junction and Crystal Palace 6.



Currently 16 trains per hour run to Dalston Junction of which 8 continue to Highbury and Islington via Forest Hill.

I'm pleased you said this because I was convinced I got one train to H&I direct from DH only a couple of weeks ago...but it was on a Sunday, so that explains it and I'm not going nuts. Thanks!

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
