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.

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.

      The Johnson papers

      he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms

      Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.

      1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.

      My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
