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.

    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
