At Denmark Hill for 0830 this morning, in time for a train that usually gets to Blackfriars around 0850. Didn't get in until nearly 10am thanks to a succession of signalling/ broken-down train/ no-one-seems-to-know problems and then immense congestion from our line and the Sutton loop. Fun times.


This isn't typical, however. Most days I'm dealing with a predictable 5-10 minute delay.

As I posted above, Helen Hayes is trying to do something about it.


ETA: I realise she's not "the government" ......

I just don't understand. In the midst of all this shambles on Southern we, who are lucky enough to use West Dulwich, are having our services substantially improved with trains every 15 mins right up to midnight(now around 9 pm.). Not looking a Gift Horse, but what is going on??

Is this 8:02 train really running, though? There's nothing in the timetable to suggest so.


Does anyone here take this service through to London Bridge, or is there some confusion?

The 8:02 does run but turns round at south Bermondsey. It's sparsely populated and has air con! However you need to change at Peckham rye or queens road for the overground and then again at Canada water for jubilee if you want get to canary wharf or back to London bridge and the west end.


The overcrowding at Canada water (single escalator down to jubilee) is getting really bad.

Altrnatively look a month or so in advance and it will show the old timetable, as they are only updating it with the reduced timetable a few weeks in advance at the moment.


"?165,479 a day owed by Southern was going unclaimed despite 124,000 passengers suffering delays of 30 minutes or more."


Please keep claiming.

That makes sense, I wonder if they will be able to space them all evenly so its 00/10/20/30/40/50 past the hour etc, which would be great.


Assuming that stupid situation where a train arrives at Clapham and you see the Imperial Wharf-bound train pulling out (and vv if coming from that way) will be improved with this too. It almost seems deliberately malicious.

I tried to get a thameslink train from Denmark hill the other day. Signalling problems meant no trains. There was loads of confusion / little info and so people were hanging around whilst more and more people continued entering the station. It got dangerously overcrowded and became increasing difficult to get off the platform. It's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt due to this kind of terrible mismanagement. Meanwhile our taxes continue to be siphoned off into the pockets of Executives and shareholders.

The 08:30 to LB this morning was delayed first of all, and then cancelled at 08:45 - no announcement, no explanation given. As the next train wasn't until 09:30, everyone left the platform en masse and tried to get on a bus. Several went by without even allowing anyone on they were so full. I ended up walking up to Denmark Hill and taking a train to Blackfriars which was also very full.


What on earth is going to happen next week if the 5 day strike goes ahead?

Or in September when people are back at work and children are back at school? The Southern website still says that the revised timetable will be in place "until train crew availability returns to normal" - which doesn't sound like it will be any time soon.

I've been staying well away from the trains due to the revised timetable but the 1 day I did go a train arrived at 08.02 and went to London Bridge.

Someone at work said additional trains are sometimes diverted through East Dulwich.

It's a shambles but glad it's summer and I can use the bike instead.

This is what national Rail Enquiries says - is it wrong ?

      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.
