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.

    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
