Trains from london bridge

[Michael Palaeologus]

I believe that platform 16 will never re-open, it is being sacrificed to make room for the new entrance and concourse.

The long disused Platform 7 may being brought back into use as a new through platform, joining up the new lines coming in via new bridge over Borough Market.

The plans wi see 9 terminating platforms reduced to 6 and throu platforms increased from 6 to 9.

Current platforms 1&2 will be abandoned.

The plans will not involve going back to the stations high of 21 platforms.

Thanks James, is there any likelihood East Dulwich will get a throu train to e.g. Charing Cross?

[Juness]

I'm finding since the platforms 14-16 have been closed at LB that the 9am, 9.10am and 9.20am often have delays and cancellations. Anyone else having problems at different times?

That's to be expected I think with more contention on the tracks leading into LB.

What I did not expect however was trains departing East Dulwich each morning earlier than the advertised departure time.

If 8:40 on the platform clock means 8:39 then either change the clock or the timetable. This happens on the 8.30 as well. It would be nice to know the logic - and if it is indeed logic, then why did we had an illogical system for so many years (or rather trains leaving at time advertised).

I've noticed recently that the two matrix sign clocks on the LB-bound platform show times about 90 seconds apart (one of them is the same as the two on the other platform). I wouldn't use them as any reliable guide.

I also find this at North Dulwich - although it does always say door may close upto 30 seconds before departure. sometimes the 8:07 arrives at 8:05 which is more than 30 seconds

It's actually been happening for a while, ever since the latest timetable came into effect. The 7:30am usually leaves at more like 7:28. Very frustrating at first... I actually set my watch 2 minutes fast as a result!
