Hi all - the Southwark Transport Plan is a 5.15mb file you may be interested in wading through to see what it has to say about plans in your area. Remember, there is a consultation period and the opportunities to have your say by mid March. All the information can be found via the website link.

Network Rail London and South East RUS


While about it why not comment on the London and South East rail utilisation strategy?


Obviously there's the future of the existing rail services in the area to consider in responding to these things, but I think the future's important too - Bakerloo line extension, what will come in the place of the South London Line once it's axed, protecting the Thameslink service frequency through Peckham Rye etc etc.

It's quite long (112 pages plus same of appendix).

The consultation questions can be found in a list on approx pp132-4. They are quite narrowly drawn.


There's some talk in the report appendix of setting up the consultation questions online using Survey Monkey. Does anyone know whether this has happened?

That's politics and politicians for you.

I remember the House of Cards and Ian Richardson's character hiring a statistician played by Kitty Aldridge (Mrs Mark Kernof fler) telling him she could devise a questionnaire for a referendum telling him exactly what he wanted to know or results he wanted to hear.

Are you serious? What about people who are unable to walk or cycle, either because they physically cannot or it's just too far on bike or foot?

Yes! Although I prefer the Yes, Prime Minister version:

One strange part of the plan:


Objective 4: Improve the health and wellbeing of all by making the borough a better place


What's this doing in a travel plan? I suppose the answer - getting people to walk more, mainly by providing led walks - sort of answers that, but then they lob a table in the middle of this section, apropos of not much, entitled "Adult participation in 30 minutes moderate intensity sport". Not sure 'led walks' classes as moderate intensity sport.


It's a rather strange section in general, and looks like it has been cut and paste from a bunch of other places. Wierd.

What a total pile of b*llocks the Southwark Transport Plan is.

We live on a rat-run.

We pointed out on endless occasions that the Southward Transport Plan states an objective of identifying and eliminating rat runs. Southwark Council are not interested and have not done a single thing about this issue.


They also say a lot of things about improving pedestrian and cyclist safety on Lordship Lane and other major routes (which was copy and pasted from the 2008 Southwark Transport Plan), without actually doing anything they stated they wanted to do.


They are not in the slightest bit interested in implementing a transport plan.

They are only interested in looking like they are planning to do something, while in fact avoiding doing anything.

If Southwark want to save money perhaps they should look to save money on b*llshit documents rather than cuttting actual services.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
