Just to add to what others have said, the impact of the ongoing problems with London Bridge and Thameslink trains is definitely being felt on the 63 and 363 buses, which are now packed during travel to work time. The one I got on yesterday into two was full after 3 stops (so that's full from the Harris Boys stop). What's really different is that the bus in (going from FHT to KingsX) used to clear out quite a bit at Peckham Rye but now doesn't and is full all the way into town. I haven't been able to get on a 63 bus home for weeks before 7.30pm. Completely understandable that people who usually travel by train want to switch, but there's a definite knock on effect. I've now taken to walking a couple of miles to Elephant and getting the 363, which doesn't come as often but I can at least get on the bus!

No easy answer to that one. I think the bus is the most reliable option currently. It's going to take you about 40 mins at that time of night. The train *should* be faster, but then again you could easily be left hanging around for half an hour waiting for a train to turn up. Delays and cancellations are endemic on Thameslink at the moment. Based on the last week or so you might be better chancing your luck at London Bridge. It's less than 10 mins walk from Tate Modern too.

The walk from the entrance of the Tate Modern to the south side of Blackfriars is about 2 mins. I'd go there, check the boards on the wall and if it's up the spout head to LB.

Apparently the reason they're all down to four cars is because of damage to carriages during the flooing. This of course translates not only to overcrowding, but people being left on the platform, and late running trains while passengers squeeze on and off the train.


Some people getting very angry this morning (7:34 train) after being left on the platform... poor driver had to explain that it wasn't his fault.

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
