Trains and other transport running this morning? [The TravelWatch in the Snow Official thread]


Recommended Posts

The live departure boards are somewhat useful, but the journey planner was lying earlier. The 7:05 was about 15 mins late. Some of the later ones were already cancelled. Lots of big delays going the other way.

Just got on the 0705 that was running 15 minutes late. The 0715 was saying it was delayed, no idea for how long and the 0729 was cancelled. When I was at the station they announced that the 0630 and 0645 and 0728 going the other way were all cancelled. I did see a train going the other way.


Basically i think its a case of trying your luck.

Was on the same 7.05 delayed to 7.20 as others. When I looked at the departures board at London Bridge there didn't appear to be much moving. Am now in office overlooking railway lines and there are a few trains coming in & out but only a few. I guess bus may be the best bet as traffic seems light.
Any road used by a bus seems ok this morning. Cycled in this morning up Peckham high st, Walworth Road and Blackfriars; no problem,frostbite aside. Roads pretty clear of traffic and buses seemed to be getting in fine. Trains few and far between on the lines behind my house though.
If you are driving, please remember to select a higher gear than first to slowly pull away. My road is teeming with eejits giving it far too many revs and slipping all over the place.

Scrap this. Don't try the train.


Don't bother queuing for the bus anywhere near the station either.

37 Bus is being diverted - from TFL website


"37Buses are diverted between Goose Green and Herne Hill Station, not serving East Dulwich Grove and Half Moon Lane and diverted via Grove Vale, Dog Kennel Hill, Grove Lane, Champion Park, Denmark Hill and Herne Hill due to adverse weather conditions."

Thanks for the link, but this is not reliable - at least for this morning.

This morning it was definately a case of chancing your arm. For me, there were 63 and 12 buses running and trains heading from Peckham Rye to London Bridge, but not to timetable.


Some guy was permanently talking over the tannoy at Peckham Rye- asking commuters to ignore the screens, but instead (helpfully) explaining when the next train was due and from which platform. Thats all we want on these ruddy snow days...clarity!


To that end, I would really appreciate if anyone can advise what the 'homeward bound' service is looking like, should they experience it before 6pm. For me, thats trains from London Bridge to Peckham Rye/East Dulwich.


The national rail website is utter tosh and is not real time, so instead if you experience this route first hand and can give an accurate take on the frequency/reliability of service (or not) as per your experiences, it would be very much appreciated


cheers :-)

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
