Went on the new tube at Honor Oak and came home with bagles from whitechaple for breakfast. It was tubalishious! Its a funny link up, a bit of a circle, think Green Park and Bond street are now easy to get to. Anyone else found great days/ evenings out?


PS not sure if calling it the Tube is correct, but i'm just enjoying it! Tube tube tube:))


Edited to add..


Just read train post, sorry did not realise it was such a hot topic.

HOP does NOT have a tube service, its the Overground which currently runs next to and in conjunction with Southern trains. The Southern train stations New Cross Gate to West Croydon have changed from the previous Southern trains franchise to London Overground, so please do not say HOP is on the tube as it ain't!1

Still the old, clanky East London line, with a bit added on to me ;)


Actually, been catching it from Brockley/New Cross to Canada Water via 343/484 bus to get from Peckham Rye to Canary Wharf without going Zone 1 - and it can be faster. Definitly a nice ride and I lke the 'open' structure of the carriages.


You can get to Croydon too .... Is that good :)

Pecanpie, you are getting beigels (pron. bygels) or bagels in Whitechapel, not bagles. The ones in Brick Lane are different to the ones in North London shops like Golders Green in case you ever wanted to do a taste testing. The ones at Sainsbury are absolutely rubbish and are just like a roll with a hole in the middle.

Whilst the new ELL is branded as 'London Overground' the old ELL used to be part of the tube and it is now run by TfL who run the tube. London Overground is run to tube standards - ie stations staffed at all times that trains run etc.


Compare some of the other lines (North London Line, Goblin etc) as they were run - as Cinderella service lines tacked on to franchises - with how they are now under TfL and I think you would find that they are effectively tube lines. More of the 'Underground' is overground than underground anyway. (Can't help feeling that the word 'wombling' should have appeared somewhere in that last sentence).

Is this line going to make it easier to get to the Olympic stadium in 2012? Will it go direct to Stratford or will we have to change somewhere, I like the idea of a direct route to the Olympics - would take out a lot of hassle.


On same subject has anyone signed up for Olympic tickets yet? Does doing so give you any advantage when tickets are released?

No advantage from the pre-registering apart from you get an email saying tickets are on sale I believe. As I understand there are no preferential offers for Londoners despite our paying extra toward it (which I don't mind by the way), and it's against EU law for UK people to have any priority over anyone else in Europe.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
