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.

    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
