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.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?

      They are people.  That's how people often behave.
