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?

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.

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
