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.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
