Worth noting that there are no Southern trains (except for Gatwick Express) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday next week.


I'd expect London Overground from Peckham Rye especially to be a nightmare, along with the buses, especially the 40, 176 and 185. It may be better from Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park which has more Overground trains, but will be exceptionally busy.

any info on trains back from London Bridge to east Dulwich will be appreciated - are they running, any news on later this eve ?

The nat rail enquiries website seems to say every 15 mins but I don't know whether that's old information they've not bothered to update / the timings listed are automatically invalid due to 'Industrial Action' banner at top of page.

I've used the Beckenham line today without problem... the nat rail website is reasonably up to date, but they don't seem to know which trains are running on time much in advance. Safest to check the 'live departures' board on the site to check how things are running.
Don't often get the train but did today and at every station and onboard announcement Southwest Trains made a point of saying their new timetable starts December 11th (Sunday) and that everyone should check the website. The way they were pushing it made it sound as though there would be significant changes so may be worth checking if your route will be affected if you're heading that way: https://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/plan-your-journey/timetables/download-timetables2/
I'm not sure whether I'm imagining things or not, but to compound our misery bus services back from the City in the evening seem to be getting worse (big gaps on the 40) and now the dot matrix at EDW station bus stop isn't supplying info.

Why did I look ? Just interrupted a lovely Sunday by looking at Southern Rail site......This is what it says.....


"Due to the industrial action by drivers in the ASLEF and RMT unions, regrettably we expect Southern services to be severely disrupted every day until further notice.


On Monday 12th December there will be a reduced service operating with no service on some routes. Please avoid travelling at peak times and services are expected to be very busy and queuing systems may be in place. you should allow extra time for your journey. Further details are available on our travel advice page. Please ensure you check your journey before setting off".


Deeply despairing !! Strike days Tues-Thurs, so is Monday a rest day, 'no service on some routes' ?

For all those of us who are taxpayers (including those {not now} travelling with Govia] - the paltry compensation you will be paid for having no service is coming out of your tax, not Govia's profits. Govia, the RMT and ASLEF wish you one and all a very crappy Christmas (especially those who thought they were travelling by train to Gatwick), and a ghastly New Year. And they intend to deliver on their promises.

We need to get to North Dulwich tomorrow morning by 8am. Best way? Walk? What are the roads like that time of morning from Peckham Rye?


Train timetable says no trains after 7,17 for an hour. Is that due to strike or misinformation in the timetable.


Will get a cab if need be. Walk otherwise.

PR to North Dulwich - under normal circumstances you can expect around 5 trains per hour, but obviously during strikes it will be much reduced. TBH I wouldn't even bother trying, as they will inevitably struggle to adhere to the published timetable.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
