The edge of Peckham Rye itself, just before Rye Lane starts. The buses were going as far as the Co-op building, terminating and then turning round and heading back north from there. I'm sure the one I was on stopped by the Library though, on Peckham Hill Street. Better luck tomorrow.

The buses are definitely running, slowly but running.


The bus drivers are doing a great job!


As for trains, only the East Croydon shuttle via Forest Hill running every 30 mins when I came through London Bridge.

No Southern trains from ED or Peckham Rye tomorrow, however a special service will be in operation from Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park tomorrow with trains every 30 mins between London Bridge and Purley.

I'm on a half empty 40 home - all good - although looking a bit over dressed in they ski gear that I used to walk in to Leadenhall St today....


I agree with Gabba. The walk in is great if you leave early and make the effort. Work shy softies the lot of you.

Do think the bus drivers deserve praise for keeping so many routes on the road this time round. While there were delays and higher demand than usual, the bus service does seem to have been better than Jan's snow. I was astonished to see some of them this morning. Think I might drop a note to TFL or the 185's operators.
London Overground will run a reduced service from Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill of 4 trains per hour towards Dalston Junction, this is in addition to the 2tph service to London Bridge from Southern.
Could anyone offer a lift into town over Waterloo or Westminster bridges within the next hour? Can offer standard taxi fare - about ?20 - can't get an actual taxi for love nor money this morning even though they're all charging x1.5.

    • Hello My husband bought and sold CDs but is no longer trading. I auctioned off all his collection of records and CDs 2/3 years ago. He had a lot of new CD jewel cases and trays which I’ve been trying to sell off cheaply on this forum… Unsuccessful! I just want them gone now as I was asked by  a shop to count them up and they are cluttering up the hallway. I’ve just had cataract surgery and not advised to lift stuff… I have: 200 CD clear cases with black trays 30 orange CD cases with orange trays  75 black double CD cases with black trays  240 CD clear cases 650 black CD trays  65 clear CD trays Also 3/4 boxes of new DVD cases,  Let me know if you’d like to collect any of the above free. You can give a donation to cancer charity if you like!  kind regards  Eleanor  
    • I’m looking for a smallish fridge freezer for a project, doesn’t need to be working around 4/5ft. Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!! If anyone’s seen any hanging about anywhere or has one they need getting rid of 🙏🙏🙏
    • He’s on the tree trunk outside the groundspeople’s yard - near the car park
    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
