The DfT announced the opening of bids for the new combined Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern franchise which will start in September 2014 for Thameslink and Great Northern, the shared FCC/Southeastern service to Sevenoaks in December 2014 and Southern in July 2015.


As part of the new franchise, the new franchisee will take over management of the recently renovated Denmark Hill, Nunhead and stations along the Catford route from Dec 2014. Peckham Rye, East Dulwich and North Dulwich will be managed by the new franchisee in July 2015, while Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park will stay with London Overground.


Denmark Hill is surprising as London Overground will still provide the majority of services post the Thameslink 'improvements' as the peak requirement for the news.


More info and downloads on the Gov.UK website. Warning, one of the documents is 243 pages long.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • 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
