Southern have cancelled all trains between Caterham and London Bridge on Monday and Tuesday of next week. It appears the Beckenham Junction trains will run on those days with half hourly gaps between trains.


There are also no Southern trains from Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park to London Bridge.


However it appears there will be some form of an Overground service from Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park and Thameslink will operate from Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, but not from Tulse Hill.

Does John Hayes MP post on this thread? (Any excuse...). He's the one that called the severe weather planning an over reaction by a bunch of snowflakes. We will have the warmest day on record today or tomorrow. There will be massive disruption.


It's a pity that the current Tory leadership campaign doesn't feature climate change.

Cancelling trains just means more people in cars Malumbu, which is worse for the climate if they aren't electric cars.


We saw that in the Covid pandemic and the local Labour administration spent many futile millions of pounds diverting traffic away from a select few roads and the London wide Labour administration singularly failed to get people back out of their cars and onto trains by not doing anything whatsoever to get teh trains back up to the old levels of service.


and then to make things worse the national Labour party supported train strikes a couple of weeks ago which encouraged people back into their cars and away from the railways.

    • 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.
