Peckham Rye to Victoria

[chauveau]

Anyone know what's happened to the 7.23 peckham rye to Victoria train? My favourite train looks to have disappeared

[DMW23]

The times have changed slightly for the next few weeks due to the work at Lewisham

[njc97]

What DMW said. A few trains have been cancelled, some other times changed as there are problems with tracks at Lewisham meaning they are having to divert trains.

Thanks both, that's made my day that it's temporary

Hi Chauveau, there was a broken rail at Lewisham and this has led to services being temporarily altered for about 4 weeks, I think your train may have been temporarily rescheduled and rerouted rather than cancelled; it's worth checking at the ticket office. For those of you who travel south eg to Beckenham, you'll need to change at Lewisham for the next four weeks.

Is it just me or have the trains in this part of town just broken. The published timetables appear to be a extravagant work of fiction, especially those running into London Bridge. I would replace them with a picture of a hunched over business man, clutching a P45 and weeping. It would be more representative of reality.

rrr, I rarely haev a problem getting into work, it's getting home in the evenings which is the challenge!

As London Bridge is being rebuilt, it's understandable that services are somewhat erratic.

This London Reconnections article explains the situation (specifically the section on 'Platform Capacity' and 'In September the pain started to be felt') and suggests it will be continuing for some time to come until the Thameslink work is completed:

As a warning, autumn timetable starts on Monday, so times might change slightly again.

The 7:34 to city thameslink has beem late everyday for two weeks and is busier than usual. Any train keenos have a clue why?

Fascinating article, thanks for sharing the link.
