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


Recommended Posts

National Rail site is useful.

Its not. You get crazy things like 'No Report' Then look at train progress and see it is canceled at some stations and not at others. Bonkers.


It is usually useful - when there isnt a problem

Came in this morning, roads were pretty clear and even DKH not proving difficult for the buses. But there didn't seem to be that many buses coming through, and because there are no trains, the ones that did make it were full to the brim and not letting more passengers on. Still, had a lovely stroll up through Burgess Park, hopped on a 363 the other side to LB and then walked up to Liverpool Street, stopping off for a Taylor St coffee on the way. All in, took around an hour and a half but much more pleasant than the normal scrum on the trains!

As Barry mentioned in the station manager thread, there are services tomorrow from ED and Peckham Rye. A London Bridge to London Bridge circular via Forest Hill and Crystal Palace running every 30 mins.


In addition, Southern will run 4tph from Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park to London Bridge, 2 of those will go to East Croydon in the opposite direction, with the other going to LB via Crystal Palace.

I've seen a northbound train at 11.44, and a southbound one at 11.55, which was in accord with the NR live departures page (though that was a bit slow in upddating the latter from 5 min late to 10 min late). It's currently, in its window to 13.45, showing departures at 14/15 and 44/45 min past the thour, all 'On time'.

LL at a standstill southbound (up the hill towards the library). Crawling northbound (towards Goose Green). Have just seen a 176 going to TCR if that helps.


Got off a 12 which did go all the way to Dulwich Library about half an hour ago but Barry Road was slow-moving and slippy.

Had to abandon a trip to DKH Sainsburys after getting stuck in traffic by Heber Road.


12 and 197 are running normally. P13 is diverted along Lordship Lane and not running along Waverley or Underhill Road.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
