Peckham Rye stn to Canary Wharf

[KidKruger]

Need to make this journey tomorrow.

I thought there used to be a train link direct (as part of Overground line).

If not, what service(s) are people frequently making this journey using please and what changes are required, if any ?

Nat Rail Enquiries gives me nothing PR -> Canary Wharf.

You can either go in to London Bridge on southern and take the jubilee line (but note strike action at mo) or overground to Canada Water and change to go one stop on jubilee.

I went to Denmark Hill from Highbury on the Overground and I'm sure it went through Canada Water?

[Sue]

Yes, pretty sure you can get there direct from Denmark Hill.

Peckham Rye -> Canada Water -> Canary Wharf

Watch out the change at Canada Water can be busy - trains cannot always be boarded at peak times.

[KidKruger]

OK Thanks.

London Bridge I'm not even considering as an option (unless I leave 3hrs early !)

So there IS a change required. Every additional leg is an additional exposure to delays/disputes etc.

I've become so cynical about London transportation !

[Jeremy]

Yeah, a few people here getting confused between Canada Water and Canary Wharf..

There was never a direct link to Canary Wharf. Overground has always been PR, QRP, Surrey Quays, Canada Water, Rotherhite, etc. So you need to change at Canada Water, and it can get very busy. But still a better bet than London Bridge (the trains are screwed yet again)

Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)

The longer way if the Jubilee line is down (happened a few times) is Overground to Shadwell then DLR.

Be careful around Shadwell, it can be rough when they (the Dogs) are playing at home at the Kennel.

Shadwell Army!!

"Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)"

It's a one-off and currently I don't have a bike that's servicable for this short-notice appt.

However longer-term, if there was some business to do there eventually, I probably wouldn't cycle because (apart from not having the bottle to cycle across London - driving is dangerous enough !) there'd be no provision for storing clothes and wet towels/showers (ducks, covers head...).

Overground to Canada Water for Jubilee line (one stop to Canary Wharf eastbound). 20-25 minutes tops from Peckham Rye in the rush hour - you may have a 5 minute change at Canada Water if it's really busy (around about 0800-0900)

If Jubilee has delays then stay on until Shadwell and change to the DLR.

Overground is therefore your weak link but it's very reliable in my experience (as are DLR and Jubilee line).

Interestingly (or not) I as once asked by a DLR guard if I was changing at Shadwell late one evening, and he advised me not to. I've changed without incident during rush hours though and never felt unsafe.

[JohnL]

There isn't really a Shadwell Army .. or ...

I was in New Cross once when a load of Millwall fans came in ... one said "nice trainers" (they were bright blue Converse).

[Sue]

Just realised I'm going to Canary Wharf tomorrow too.

Changing at Shadwell (short walk to different station if memory serves).

Picking up new specs, hooray :)

ETA: So yes I was probably mixing it up with Canada Water, duh.

[Jules-and-Boo]

It's my daily trek. Overground from Peckham Rye (also stops at Denmark Hill on the way here) every 15mins to Canada Water (takes about 12 mins) and then down the escalator to the Jubilee Line and one stop to Canary Wharf.

Easy peasey.

The longest I've ever had to wait at Canada Water for a tube is ten mins and three trains, but that's rare.

[KidKruger]

Sounds good J&B !!

Might see you tomorrow (though I'm not headinhg over until 1300 !).
