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!

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      By red5 · Posted

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect
