Trains from London Bridge to East Dulwich tonight

[Ladygooner]

The last direct train to East Dulwich runs at 17.50 tonight - After that it will be a nightmare - either going via Blackfriars or New Cross Gate changing 2 or 3 times to get to ED. Check out www.thetrainline.com

Probably easier to just get the bus back, or get the overground to PR/DH and walk/bus from there.

[Ladygooner]

Absolutely Jeremy - just trying to warn the people who are not aware until they turn up at London Bridge

[rachel83]

thanks for the heads up - i'll come back via peckham tonight

Trains are starting to and from South Bermondsey as of 10am. Tickets are valid on the Jubilee line to Canada Water and the on the Overground to PR, or on Bus 381 to South Bermondsey.

Doesn't look like there are any trains running from LB to ED after work. Shows 17:50 is cancelled on National Rail website if you check the journey planner.

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.

[Alan Medic]

Are tickets valid on buses does anyone know?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Anyone know why?

I think there is a 'small' amount of construction work going on at LB over this weekend. Monday morning won't be platform 13.

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

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.

Does anyone know if trains are running from east dulwich to london bridge tomorrow morning pre 7.30?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Looks like it.

[Bic Basher]

Just had a look at the early morning revised services. None affect ED/PR towards London Bridge.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Thanks for the updates peeps.

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.

[SteveUK1978]

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.

[Ladygooner]

It was signal failures apparently this morning - still showing some issues on National Rail site - best to check before you go home tonight

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.
