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!

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      By David Peckham · Posted

      They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      By ianr · Posted

      On your last point jazzer, no. I've been reading around various aspects of them today.  The majority of them appear to be not much more than whey obtained from milk. That makes them about 75-80% protein. Have  a look at the H&B products.  They list all constituents. On the 18+ issue, OP, I suspect that what you noticed was probably at most a recommendation that they not be used by under-18s.  Even then, I only came across it on one website, by chance, when seeking for evidence of prohibitions:  https://ultimatesupsg.com/blogs/nutrition/whey-protein-should-individuals-under-the-age-of-18-take-whey-protein-to-build-muscle.

      Simple question, why is a 16 year old taking protein powders? If they want to build up muscle, try using weights in the gym, doing it naturally.  Presumably  these powers are not natural products and more likely to be synthetic materials?

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      tbh not impressed. I review restaurants and decided to give them benefit of the doubt that it was an off day and didn't write it up. There's a new restaurant by the Plough which I think is Turkish (where the strange French restaurant was many years ago). Planning to try that soon, if anyone has been let me know what you think./
