Hello, we are moving to the area and I am wondering if there is typically a problem getting on the 8.10am or 8.20am trains to London Bridge? Of course I am expecting standing room only, but are the trains ever so full that is not possible to get on the train at East Dulwich station?

Would agree with BNG that the trains are fine most days at the moment - loads of room and seats at the back of the trains.


Now that London Bridge has completed works on the platforms, and there's an additional exit option towards the middle of the train, people don't tend to crowd into the front two carriages quite as much as they used to.


However, watch hilarity ensue if the train before is cancelled and then a four carriage train turns up :oD

They are actually very good at the moment! Although how long that will last for, I don't know.


If you are within walking distance of Peckham Rye or Denmark Hill then you do have some backup options.. Overground is reliable (and air conditioned!), even if it's unlikely to get you to your final destination. Thameslink trains are unreliable and crowded, but the routes are useful.

they are coolio at the minute to London bridge now that the long term work is panning out. E-Z Cycling still beats the train door to door for an SE22-EC2 run but the train is the hungover option - and cycling is maybe not for the faint hearted

148. Safe driving and riding needs concentration

------------------------------------------------

Avoid distractions when driving or riding such as


* loud music (this may mask other sounds)

* trying to read maps

* starting or adjusting any music or radio

* arguing with your passengers or other road users

* eating and drinking

* smoking

It may be worth keeping an eye on Southern as from Sunday, ASLEF drivers will no longer work overtime again. When this last happened, trains from East Dulwich were seriously affected, the worst being 1 train per hour in the morning peak.
I posted a message this afternoon giving National Rail's information about train services tomorrow morning after the dreadful attack last night. For some reason it has been lounged. No idea why. If you need this info please look in the Lounge.
If you go the National Rail website it will show no disruptions to current services and shows the trains running in the morning. Please make sure that you open the message at the top of the page " no trains calling at London Bridge" and view "more details" to see the actual state of play in the morning.

Yes, but TfL are currently saying you won't be able to walk over London Bridge tomorrow morning.

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • 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?
