12 is running to the Library this evening, but a couple of twit drivers have parked up in the middle of the 12 bus stand on LL...

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.

Just got told over the phone by national rail that all southern trains from Victoria to Peckham rye are now cancelled as of a few minutes ago

[MsDulwich]

Are any buses getting as far as Lordship Lane and is the 363 still terminating at Peckham Rye?

[Mellors]

Just got home on the 63 which was running all the way to the FHT.

[MsDulwich]

thank you Mellors :)

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.

[MrBen]

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.

[Bic Basher]

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.

[ontheedge]

The buses have been great with cheerful drivers waiting for people without forcing them to attempt to run, hurrah for the buss drivers

[Michael Palaeologus]

Great that the buses have got their act together. Crap that the railways havent.

[nozchik]

Does anyone know If the bus number 37 from putney running normal?

[tricia172]

Yes it was running fine at around 10pm!

[nozchik]

Many thanks :)

How are things this morning ? Are the bus drivers triumphing again ? Or are the roads too icy ?

[Blondie]

Buses are the only option. Southern are saying there are no trains from ED today.

Heres hoping the bus drivers are on form again today.

Anyone seen a bus go up DKH or down LL?

[CJ_Scott]

Just had a call from my husband to say he had no trouble getting to work on the bus (ED to East London via Liverpool St) - roads were clear.

[ratty]

What are local roads like for driving?

[Floating Onion]

The boards said no trains at ED station. Seen two 176s & just got on a busy 40. Main roads seem ok.

[Shaila Shah]

Is the 12 running from the library?

[Floating Onion]

Also watch the pavement, it's getting icy & packed out there.

[languagelounger]

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.
