If National Rail is correct there aren't ANY direct trains to ED.

That's correct, as they're only operating out of four platforms for the rest of the day, the ED/PR trains are only operating to/from South Bermondsey.


Bar one train (1736 to West Croydon) you can travel to HOP and Forest Hill from London Bridge as normal during the evening peak or as I mentioned above, tickets are valid on the tube and Overground.

It is really handy of you sign up to tfl travel updates -they send you travel alerts about things like this in advance.

London Bridge National Rail station

From Friday 28 until Monday 31 March, there are changes to train services to and from London Bridge National Rail station while Network Rail carry out engineering works. There will be no Southern services to and from the station on Friday from approximately 10:00 until 11:30. There are also a number of timetable changes during the affected period. To plan your rail journey, please visit nationalrail.co.uk

Platform 12 and 13 will be closed from now on as the new 14 and 15 open at the far end of the station.


It's also worth nothing that the cross platform footbridge will be shortened again with access between 1-10. For 11, 14 and 15, you'll need to walk up to the gateline and back along 8 or 9-10 to access it.

What a shambles Friday was, they had people all week giving out leafelts stating the reduced service adn providing the only trains times on Friday afternoon then during the day cancelled the ones that they said were running !!!


Another problem this morning meant I got the bus in, does anyone know of this was related to the weekend works and will the trains be runinng tonight ? No updates on National Rail site since this morning.

They said it was due to signal problems....but that is almost certainly a hangover from the weekend. Monday morning after weekend works is often a nightmare.


Worth checking before you set off home tonight.


New platforms some way further up the station as well. Need to factor in a good 30 seconds more for the dash from the tube plaforms past that TM Lewin and the South African biltong shop.

Cancellations announced for tonight on Southern, but nothing on the ED routes yet (http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/important-travel-advice-london-bridge-this-evening/).


Decided to defer the trip in by an hour this morning to allow the mess to settle but still got caught waiting outside LB for 30 minutes. Going to give it a miss and head home via Denmark Hill on the Thameslink and bus it to ED from there instead.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
