Go figure? Are you American? The station is undergoing a huge re-furb. Sht hppns.

Well no, it was nothing to do with the refurb. A signal problem in the Peckham Rye area, apparently. A major part of the problem at the moment is the woeful lack of information at London Bridge and the inability of staff to communicate what information they do have. If the trains are buggered, just tell me and I'll hop on the no. 40 rather than hang around for ages like an eejit.

Not everyone has smartphones but first thing I do before I leave work is check train apps or websites.


You can and should blame station for lack of info but once you start taking more control of the info yourself the happier you'll be

Lack of information?


I was waiting on platform 13 at 17:45 for the 17:50 and a loud announcement (loud enough to hear over my earphones) advised that the 17:50 to Wimbledon was delayed by 18 mins due to signal problems in the Peckham rye area. What more information are they supposed to give?

Exactly my thoughts.

Yeah, I ewas there too. This was my cue to go and get the no. 40. I'd also been waiting for the 17.40, which was cancelled at about 17.38. And an 18-minute delay isn't something that suddenly happens is it?

Absolutely. My "easy tiger" was meant in jest.

Wow, thats a bit strong! How did you get on with your trains today?

Were they awesome and cool,man? Or major head fcuk, dude

I have it on good authority that a lot of the signal problems and electricity supply problems are down to cables and equipment being stolen. How they deal with that I don't know unless they install booby traps but that would probably be illegal.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
