Nope... I am hoping their one-way system includes the access into the District/Circle line hall being split so that those wanting to use that line don't get entirely swamped in the 'Victoria line' travellers but I foresee many evenings of being stuck outside. Fortunately, I only have to brave it a couple of times a week until I get back on my bike in March.


Long-term what they want to do with access to Victoria will be excellent but it is a pity that they couldn't have waited to refurbish the escalators until the new bank of them were built. Although I'm guessing since that's 3-4 years away, it may not have been safe to do so...

So, I stayed on the tube at victoria, at 5.45 and did not get off ( I went to Brixton and got a bus), but as we pulled away at Victoria I looked out of the window of the tube and it looked better than usual- it this just scare tactics? Getting the bus at Brixton is always a challenge and I am not sure I have the nerves to do this for the next year.

Did anyone brave the tube/ mainline transport exchange in the rush hour and how was it?

Three of my colleagues did. One at 4.45 who said that it did take longer getting down to Victoria line but platforms packed since apparently problems on the line. As a sidenote, the platform indicators have been wrong often recently.

Second person went through at 6.30 with no problems.


Third was going District Line at 5.45 and said it was a bit crowded behind the barriers at District/Circle but didn't delay her.


As far as I know, the problems are more related to getting into Victoria at peak times. Of the three escalators, one is being refurbished and the other two both go up at evening rush. It probably takes longer to get out in the morning when there is one in each direction

Went via Victoria tonight at 5.30 to District Line - it was emptier than usual. I suspect the advice is being heeded by those who are only just on the 'closer to Victoria than St James Park or Pimlico' and those of us who work right next door are ignoring it. We'll see what happens on a really wet miserable night...


Second Polly D's comment re Denmark Hill though. Many people just going to the station are now getting off at the stop at the top of the hill and walking/jogging/sprinting down to the station since the temporary lights cause such jams.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
