Southern have announced that they won't be running any trains until 0900 on Monday due to Network Rail deeming it unsafe to operate a train service during the high winds.

There's no indication if London Overground will be operating at the moment.

I'd expect things to improve through the day, as obstructions (if any) are cleared and precautionary measures are withdrawn.


Getting home in the evening should be generally a lot easier than getting to work in the morning


That was certainly true back in 1987 - although I was closer in (Clapham) then.

I was living in Henley during the '87 storm - all the 4 roads in to Henley were blocked by fallen trees. Hope it is not that bad for you tomorrow.

The reason why they cancel all the trains before 9 is because it gives them the chance of checking the tracks for fallen trees/anything else blocking the way/flooding etc, otherwise people could end stranded in the middle of nowhere while the problem gets sorted

It looks as if they're being phased back in now. First one on ED Live Departures page with a firm departure time is the 10:51 to London Bridge. http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-your-journey/live-running-information/EDW/departures/


But still no Beckenham Junction branch?

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
