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I'd expect things to improve through the day, as obstructions (if any) are cleared and precautionary measures are withdrawn.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

    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.
