From looking at the app - buses replace trains this weekend on both the Peckham Rye to London Bridge line and on the London Overground. I've found the info on the overground closure on TFL but can't see anything about the London Bridge one on either TFL or southeastern trains (this mentions closure on victoria - bromley / lewisham lines but nothing about london bridge)


Has anybody seen anything at the station about this? I cycle so don't use the station during the week. Just wondering if the app is correct or not. If so it's most annoying to be closing so many lines affecting the same station on the same day.

Yup, the app is usually correct. I?ve checked and no trains from ED to London Bridge this weekend. Looks like no overground from Peckham to Clapham Junction either. I usually go to Denmark Hill and make my way to London Victoria when this happens or Herne Hill into central London, as I find the a Rail Replacement fairly unreliable - plus it can take ages!

Forest Hill or Crofton Park trains also up the spout this weekend


LONDON OVERGROUND: Sunday 9 February, no service between Highbury & Islington and New Cross / New Cross Gate / Clapham Junction. Use alternative Overground services between Highbury & Islington and Dalston Kingsland for connecting replacement buses.

> Why can?t they spread these works out a bit?



The engineering works are between Streatham and Peckham Rye which takes out Tulse Hill - that's the major junction handling everything from Streatham, Streatham Hill and West Norwood. Take out Tulse Hill and you've lost three entire lines.

For anyone cycling, the route from East Dulwich to the Elephant is very good, direct and safe. Loads of parking when you get there. I shall probably do it like that tomorrow as long as the weather isn't too vile.


It's here: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/140137 -- three miles.

On Saturday, there is only a 30 minute train service to London Bridge from Forest Hill, Honor Oak Park and New Cross Gate due to engineering works. Sunday trains run every 15 mins from those stations, although they may be affected by Storm Ciara.


Peckham Rye sees Victoria trains running only every 30 mins, while Denmark Hill has three trains per hour to Victoria with buses replacing Thameslink and Overground trains.

You can take the 63 bus direct to Southwark Tube for the Jubilee line, from the Peckham Rye side of ED. Check Blackfriars Road is open again after waterworks, otherwise E&c and 10 mins walk. I do this regularly and on a Sunday it?s half an hour from the top of Forest Hill Road and easiest / less changes

It is quite normal, and in fact has been so ever since I've been in SE London... over 15 years. There's always a reasonable chance that trains won't be running on the weekends.


Would really struggle living here without a car, TBH. Failing that, buses are better than nothing... just...

There are some emergency repairs overnight 14-15 Feb to the line between Peckham Rye and Nunhead. According to https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/242647.aspx they're scheduled to be done by 06:00, but it might be prudent to check on http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/ldbboard/dep/PMR/NHD/To that there's been no overrun.


Looks ok now, Saturday 10:05

    • Just astonishing - how do they do it? Well done for being so on the ball. 
    • Shocking - so fast. Machines can have a false device for inserting your card into and then they retain it. Your bank should return your money 
    • FYI East Dulwich neighbours: I was in the middle of a cash withdrawl at the cashpoint at the Tesco Express on ED road (the one next to the Esso petrol station) when a man appeared beside me waving his hands over the screen and saying not to use it because it had just taken his card. He then dissapeared and I cancelled the withdrawl. No card was returned. It took me literally 30 seconds (max) to realise something wasn't right and 'freeze' the card on my mobile/banking app. I immediately got a txt message from my bank saying a transaction had just been declined, and then another. I logged in to app and £251 had already been taken. This all happened increadibly quickly - the whole incident from first encounter to money being taken and me freezing card was probably around 3 minutes. The guy must have somehow seen me put my PIN number in. It's possible there was some kind of card skmming involved, but I don't know for sure. The man was around 5ft 6/7, black and wearing a covid-type face mask. I don't remember what clothes he was wearing. I got the feeling (mainly from his voice and eyes) that he wasn't young - maybe mid-30s to mid-40s (but I can't be sure). Obviously I repoted to police. 
    • It would be incredible if the community supported small businesses rather than a chain (Gail's being a very large chain).   Sadly, consumers don't realise their power - as you can see also by the number of coffee cups etc that are still being bought and contribute to landfill - it' not hard to be responsible, just inconvenient.
