trains 3 Feb?

[Strawbs]

any idea if trains running through ED to London Bridge? Ive looked but cant find anything definitive..

thanks

Just listened to Radio London 94.9 - no trains through P Rye at moment. Try their website as they say they will post up most recent announcements.

Busses are fine....apparently, I'm going to give it a go

TFL says buses will be running, and SouthEastern will be running most of its services once every half hour.

Southeastern

Southern says "SOUTHERN: On Tuesday 3 February, suspended between London Bridge and Sutton, via Tulse Hill and Wimbledon, due to adverse weather conditions" so not sure whether ED station will be open.

Good luck on the skating rinks, everyone.

I live just round the corner from the station and have just been to see if there are any trains running.

The sign on the platform says "Due to adverse weather conditions this station will remain closed until further notice".

I have seen a number 40 bus so there are definitely buses running. I expect the buses will be heaving mind you.

[Strawbs]

Thanks Blondie I appreciate that! Saves me a trip out..

Now the question is to bus or not to bus...

According the First Capital Connect site, trains are running every 30 minutes from Herne Hill to Bedford, passing through Blackfriars, St Pancras etc.

Train station was closed at 7:20. 40 & 176 were running fine.

anyone know if trains running from denmark hill to victoria please?

[Moos]

Peckham Rye station is completely closed, or was at 8.30, and all ED trains run through there.

Mick, pretty sure from looking at tfl this morning that the Denmark Hill/Victoria line isn't running, soz.

343 running OK to London Bridge.

Genuine question without any arsiness intended - why is it harder to get trains running than buses?

Got to work about 45 mins ago. No trains from ED station but a few buses. I saw a 40 and 176. I think I may have even glimpsed a 185. Anyway, got a 40. Then the Jubilee (sp) line. Waled through Waterloo station - from the boards (and the general lack of rolling stock) it didn't look like there were any trains running.

Definitely no trains at the moment - doubt there will be any at all today. Southern has a list of working routes (2 trains an hour on each working route) that I think includes Forest Hill. Buses all seem to be working fine though - got the 40 to London Bridge this morning and it only took about 20 minutes.

Good question. Perhaps on the road, a good dose of grit is enough to get things going, but the railways need to be completely cleared. And there are lots of cars using main roads, so the snow is always getting churned up.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Praps the train staff get buses to work and not enough make it in with early buses up the spout a bit.

[macroban]

I'd be more inclined to look at the byzantine train operator/Railco contracts where it might be more profitable not to run a service if there is a "valid reason".

I got to work fine today all across from angel to streatham so looks ok

[VeryBerryCherry]

Are any more updates on the trains this evening or for tomorrow?

[Siduhe]

Have you looked at the live info on the National Rail site for this evening?

Nothing from London to Peckham Rye - http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/sumarr.aspx?T=PMR

Nothing from London to ED - http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/sumarr.aspx?T=EDW

[Blondie]

recent update from Southern railway website suggests still no trains but they are working on getting it running tomorrow

http://www.southernrailway.com/unavailable.html

[Floating Onion]

Careful with the websites. The National Rail journey planner & the live departure boards were both incorrect yesterday. They reported trains were running while London Bridge was shut!

[KidKruger]

ARE TRAINS FROM EAST DULWICH TOLONDON BRIDGE (and BACK) ON SCHEDULE NOW PEOPLE ?

CHEERS,

KK.

[Floating Onion]

They were running fine early this morning. There were some delays later in the day reported in another thread. Not sure if they're back on schedule now.

[KidKruger]

OK thanks Floating O, just seen that thread now ya mention it, will have a gander....
