... according to Southern Rail's http://www.journeycheck.com/southern:


"Engineering work starting on 02/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction.

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 02/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

between Peckham Rye and Streatham Common via Tulse Hill

between Streatham Common and Peckham Rye via Tulse Hill

Train services will run as shuttles between London Bridge and Peckham Rye -in both directions- and between Crystal Palace and Beckenham Junction -in both directions-. Further Information is available from National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50."


This seems to be planned for both Saturday and Sunday, judging from the National Rail journey planner.


[Edited 14/8/11, following Jeremy's post, to remove the 2/3 July date from the title, and to note that the current JourneyCheck doesn't seem to have any mention of today's closure. Could that be because the work and closure started yesterday and the notification of the start has now fallen off the listing!?]

Is there anyway posters can be put up at ED station so everyone is aware?

The only time i seem to find out about this is via the forum. When I lived in Kilburn the tube station had posters clearly stating closures. Surely Southern rail could do the same (or even the station manager)

Just noticed this separate entry for Sunday on the Southern site:


"Engineering work starting on 03/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon.

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 03/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

The plot thickens. From a Nat Rail journey planner enquiry for tomorrow:


09:14 Peckham Rye [PMR] London Bridge [LBG] 09:34 0h 20m 0 bus service

09:26 Peckham Rye [PMR] London Bridge [LBG] 09:36 0h 10m 0

09:44 Peckham Rye [PMR] London Bridge [LBG] 10:04 0h 20m 0 bus service

09:56 Peckham Rye [PMR] London Bridge [LBG] 10:06 0h 10m 0

10:14 Peckham Rye [PMR] London Bridge [LBG] 10:34 0h 20m 0 bus service

Hi saveshambo James advice was only partly right though I'm sure he didn't mean to mislead you. If you are going from east Dulwich to London bridge take the 40 bus ok. Or you can take the 176 & change at the elephant & castle or the 12 & change atthe elephant & castle though it takes longer than the 176.

40 is the best bet as it takes you all the way to London bridge.

Good luck

Sman!!

i think the engineering works are on the branch that goes from PEckham Rye down through ED. The trains that are not busses (if that makes sence) will likely be those running from Victoria to LB via Denmark Hill (therefore they will not be affected by the works on the ED branch.

It has been really annoying having to get the bus into London Bridge early Sat AM and worse still trying to get back home later. Firstly the accident outside King's and last 2 weekends roadworks near King's so bad traffic. Does anyone have any idea how long these engineering works are going on for? It used to be occasional sundays but now appears to be all weekend.


Thanks.

      Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations.  I was lucky when I did mine  - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.

      Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.

      Seeking parent-to-be for infant observation

      By MillieB · Posted

      Hello,  I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation.  I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time.  The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist.  I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions.  Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks,  Millie  Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com

      I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere.  The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side.  We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.
