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.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
