Does anyone get the train from Peckham Rye/Denmark Hill which goes to E&C, Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon, St Pancs and get a good phone signal on the way?


Mine is very flaky and I certainly don't get any signal from City Thameslink to St Pancras (except for a short window at Farringdon). But, I still see people using their phones, either surfing or even taking a call... Is anyone else able to do this?

Hello!


I do that route every morning! The service is good from Peckham Rye (no service going through Denmark hill tunnel and sometimes flaky at the actual station), all the way until you enter into City Thameslink, then no service until the second set of escalators when leaving St Pancras station!!


I usually listen to the radio, when there is no service, i'm checking my emails which have downloaded to my phone...I suspect people are doing the smae or watching video content or playing games.... I've not really seen people taking calls though.

If the inanities I'm usually subjected to reached these dizzy heights I don't think I'd mind so much. Did they give marks out of ten?

Hi OD - thanks for removing some of the mystery. I have seen people speaking on their phones in City Thameslink station which I've always found odd. Can you listen to the radio with no signal? What app do you use? I'd love to get 6 music in the mornings. I mainly use the time between blackfriars and st pancras reading all the tweets from my feed in the last few hours, which is useful for my work.


E-dealer - I know exactly what you mean ;-)

    • I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.
    • My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.    
    • NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.     
    • Thanks Rowan! Well done you have done amazing on your fitness journey. Happy New Year EDF and all my wonderful clients whom I've had the pleasure to train this year. I'm looking forward to 2026 🙌🎊
