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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
