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.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
