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I'd expect things to improve through the day, as obstructions (if any) are cleared and precautionary measures are withdrawn.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

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • 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" ?
