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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
