As last week, no train services from ED this weekend. Additionally, no Victoria London Bridge service on Sunday.


According to http://www.journeycheck.com/southern:


--

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 09/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

between London Bridge and Streatham Common via Tulse Hill

between Streatham Common and London Bridge via Tulse Hill

between Crystal Palace and Beckenham Junction

Beckenham Junction and Crystal Palace

----

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 10/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

between London Bridge and Streatham

-----

Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 10/07/11 between London Bridge and London Victoria.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

between London Bridge and London Victoria via Peckham Rye

-----


The timetabled replacement bus times shown on the National Rail Journey Planner for the ED trains

(I checked for 10:00-12:00 each day) are:


Saturday 9 July


ED to London Bridge: 19 and 49 minutes past the hour

ED to Tulse Hill: 10 and 40 minutes past the hour


Sunday 10 July


ED to London Bridge: 10, 27, 40 and 57 minutes past the hour

ED to Tulse Hill: 05 and 35 minutes past the hour



Peckham Rye departures - as above, with 7 minutes difference


Stated journey time, ED to London Bridge - 25 min.

I don't know when this particular project will end (it's been 3 consecutive weekends now), but the weekend service has been patchy for years - particularly on Sundays.


I expect you'll have to get used to alternative ways of getting into town - I think trains from Denmark Hill are running, if that's any help.

> I don't know when this particular project will end (it's been 3 consecutive weekends now)


Southern's updated journeycheck page, which currently covers up to 29th July, reports for Sundays 17th and 24th:


"Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 17/07/11 between London Bridge and Streatham Common.

Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains

between London Bridge and Streatham Common via Streatham Hill

between Streatham Common and London Bridge via Streatham Hill"


Enquiries on the National Rail Journey Planner do show replacement buses from ED again on those two days. :(

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
