Hello SE23!


As you know, we have been pushing for more train services for Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Crofton Park, Catford and beyond.


We are now in the last phase of the Thameslink consultation, and need 3,000 people to say they support the calls for more trains at weekends too as well as weekdays, all before the deadline of 20th December


In addition to this, we are also calling on Southeastern trains to provide more services to London Victoria to give everyone real choice and reliability for their journeys, as well as protect the existing services we have when their franchise changes next year.


To add your voice, just follow this link:

Thank you!


A Cinderella Line

How does this affect uses in SE22/15/21 who generally use N and E Dulwich and Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations, none of which are mentioned in the page from the link? By signing for more trains from these stations would people be then taking trains away from the stations I just mentioned?

I've signed this. Both the Thameslink and Victoria trains serve Nunhead, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill. There is the ridiculous they've put a 20 and a 10 minute gap for someone to add in another train , with no back-up to the potential of more trains eg who would run this service, when it would start. I can see the one after the 20 minute being busier, therefore being delayed so you'll have eg a 25 minute gap and a 5 minute gap (This is going on Thameslink's usual reliability) Also weekends a frequent through London service is needed on Thameslink. I am still concerned about the Victoria service, I've not seen any feedback since the last consultation.


This is all happening now as the new timetable for the very very overdue Thameslink 2000 project is being finalised.

Hi Nigello, This will not take away services from these stations, in fact this is for services that run through Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye - You can find more about the full consultation on the Thameslink website: https://www.transformingrail.com/


We hope this helps!

Hi Renata,


The gaps will be for the future franchise holder of Southeastern to provide an infill service. The Franchise gets renewed in December 2018, and so we are in the process of campaigning to the new potential franchise holders to provide the infill services as soon as they take over.


With regards to the Victoria services, we have started a petition to both protect and enhance the current Victoria trains. Please sign and share our petition for this here: https://www.change.org/p/david-statham-more-victoria-trains-for-crofton-park-the-catford-loop


We hope this helps!

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
