But the plans to remove 3 of the 9 terminatin platforms will be painful if granted planning approval and would see the end of the South London Line.

Weirdly London Bridge could reinstate 3 past cloased terminating platforms but seem to prefer long distance commuting into London Bridge rather than Southwark residents commuters.

I was walking along St Thomas Street towards the station the other day - the station area being to my right being just one big red brick wall, just east of Weston Street where it goes through the tunnel - and I came across a slope going up where cars can go, so - thinking I might be using a cut-through or short cut - I walked up it. Security Guard very politely asked if I worked in one of the shops as this slope is for cars and the workers often come out this way for a smoke. I started talking with him and he said that in the not too distant future, whilst the brick wall facade will be kept, that whole area will be knocked through and turned in to shopping and eating area.


Didn't get a train home - looking forward to seeing the differences you all describe though!

You get a good view of much of the building work including new track if you catch the train to Charing X from Platform 6. Having wandered around the immediate area on foot, must say that the project management of road and site traffic seems exemplary.


The only negative is that Guy's Tower has started looking very shabby and overlooked...

Hi Jeremy,

The plan Network Rail have is to increas the number of through Thameslink platforms from 6 to 9 - hence the new viaduct across Borough High Street and to make space reduce the number of terminating platforms from 9 to 6.

What they could do is reinstate 3 terminating platforms that have been used as a station and Network Rail staff car park since the 70's. Naivelly I would imaginje a train company would prefer space for trains over parked cars!

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
