One train stuck in station, one just outside in other direction, as power to rail lost as frozen. Case of wait for it to melt, or a network rail guy to come and sort. Just happened so driver had no eta of how long before up and running again.


On up side buses seem to be running

Well, a few tasty treats would be nice while we all waited!

Maybe a coffee too?


(sorry)

I looked online and saw that there were delays/cancellations at both Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, so caught the 37 to Brixton (which was only slightly delayed) and the Victoria line from there to Green Park - was in work about 10 minutes later than usual, so can highly recommend this route if you need to get into central London.


However, the station at Brixton probably had twice as many people entering it as normal - still managed to get a seat though. Think people getting on further up might have struggled though.

So, those responsible for the roads have learned the lessons of the past few years. Were well prepared and have done an excellent job of keeping traffic moving in harsh conditions.


For those responsible for the rails, its Groundhog Day.

The live departure board for Peckham Rye is a sight for sore eyes.

Overground:


"No service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction and between Willesden Junction and Richmond to due to power supply problems caused by snow and ice. MINOR DELAYS between Highbury & Islington and New Cross / West Croydon / Crystal Palace. London Underground is accepting tickets via reasonable routes. GOOD SERVICE on other routes."

Suggest you all join twitter and follow @BBCTravelAlerts @TFLTravelAlerts @nationalrailenq @SouthernRailUK as they tweet live updates and it's the only reliable way of finding out anything short of turning up at the station. Often faster than their websites.


NOTE: Southern are already saying that tomorrow ie Tuesday 22 Jan, they will be running an amended timetable as they are doing today - http://www.southernrailway.com/ and http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-my-journey/temporary-timetable-b

Southern have to be one of the worst toc's I've seen. It was evident this morning that no preparation work at all has taken place. I can't believe they haven't retrofitted de icers to the 377's or requested support from lorol 378 to run a special diagram with their De icers. It seems as though they have just given up, roll on the thameslink takeover.

    • I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.
    • https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14349080 Doesn't add much. No accounts. Possibly genuine. Possibly the hard-done-to veterans are themselves
    • We have a place and a date for the first (and hopefully not the last) reborn ED Forum drinks! We have booked tables at The Palmerston on Wednesday 11 June at 7pm, in the area by the window on the left as you come in. It would be very helpful to us (and particularly the pub) if you could PM us in good time if you intend to come, so that we are not reserving tables which won't be used. We will provide labels and pens  for those who would like to use them - definitely not compulsory! Any comments or queries, please post them here or PM me!
