Hi all,


Just a quick transport related question. I've recently got a new job working with The Financial Times up at Southwark Bridge and wanted to know what the best/quickest/cheapest way to get there would be? A few friends suggested catching the train from East Dulwich to London Bridge, even though it's quite a bit of walking it sounds like the quickest way. I got a bus up there for my interview and it took forever! Does anyone know the ticket prices/ monthly ticket cost? I have a pay and go oyster at the moment and don't want to have to fork out the ?120 a month for a travel card.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Matt

Now that is something I would be happy to pay for. Can't believe it takes me nearly an hour to get up to central London on the 176 everyday. I have to say I loathe that bus, always appears at random times, always busy unless I go into work an hour early and no matter which one I get the drivers always seem to change on Medlar Street in Camberwell... and everyone sits and waits for ten minutes or so. God I miss my car sometimes!

Southern's DaySave ticket is the closest to that, ?12 for off-peak travel ANYWHERE in the Southern network, ?30 peak, ?100 flexi weekly or ?80 weekly off-peak. The only catch is these tickets have to be bought in at least 7 days beforehand.

I have decided to give a monthly season ticket a trial to see if I use tubes and buses enough to warrant a zone 1-2 travel card instead. ? How flexible are the tickets in travelling into London terminals? Will I be able to travel to London Bridge from Denmark Hill with my monthly season ticket? i.e. I am assuming E.D to Peckham Rye and then Peckham Rye to Victoria via Denmark Hill is acceptable?


Any help is appreciated!

I think that would be fine. You can definitely use it to get to Charing Cross via London Bridge.

I would skp ED station and head over the hill to Denmark Hill station (buses are frequent form ED station/LL) and get the Victoria train from there.

The 1-2 zone travelcard will be fine, I do itmyself frequently as well as ED to LB.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • 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.
