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.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
