And some of us Dulwichites pop up to the Hill for the Overground connection :-)


Thanks for the post HerLordship.


I wonder whether this linking of Highbury & Islington with the depths of south London will heal the great North South Divide....

Loads of people get off at C Water always, but then a fair few get off at Whitechapel and Shoreditch in my experiences. Having a link to the Vict line and to North London Line and other trains at H and I will be great.


Wish the link to Clapham J, when it opens, could include a stop at Brixton so we could get at the Vict line (and get a seat!) there!!


Incidentally, tip that someone gave me and hadn't dawned on me about Whitechapel - instead of waiting for the first H and City train to come, which can be an absolute age, get on the first District (much more frequent) to T Hill and then onto the Circle. Usually quicker, I've found. The H and City line really is the dark ages.


Final random bit of wittering - I'm utterly in love with the P Rye - Farringdon link. Coming home the other night I had a table and four seats all to myself as we cruised across London, with spectacular views, in only a few mins. And it was 6.35pm. Magic.

With the delay to the ELL extension to Clapham, there might be a reprieve for the current Southern South London Line between Victoria and London Bridge after the May 2012 timetable commences. However capacity at London Bridge may be an issue by then.


If not, Southeastern may have to provide trains for Wandsworth Road and Clapham High Street until London Overground can start services.

Brilliant! Thanks for this info. I use the east london line to get to work in Shoreditch and it is so much easier than the other options. Also my boyfriend has to go to Welwyn every week for band practice (!) so will be good for him too.

I ended up moving to Can Wharf as was so sick of the commute..What route do you take Jah?

Am I being dense, but how's it going to help with Welwyn?!


Jumpin - presumably FH/HOP to Canada Water and then one stop on J line.

Aha! Hadn't appreciated this. Hurrah.


Also dawned on me last night as I rode the line that once phase two opens I and my bike will, when working late and so knackered, have the exciting choice of cycling from H O Park or from P Rye.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
