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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
