Chaos on public transport (from East Dulwich)

[Timster]

Does anyone know why there was such chaos on the trains and buses this morning? No 12 or 197 buses going toward Peckham. Southern and SouthEastern trains severely delayed due to "adverse weather conditions" - what is adverse about a bright sunny March morning?

I'm just grumpy because I got up half an hour early and ended up in the office half an hour late.

maybe the drivers were blinded by the adversely bright sun? that sucks that you lost half an in bed but gained half an hour at a bus stop. not fair in the lottery of life.

According to the radio there were problems on the trains due to ice on the rails, they were recommending not travelling before 9. Don't know what went wrong with the buses.

Rather glad I had already planned to work from home today and saved myself the hassle - sounds like we go via the same route and I would have been delayed too.

The Peckham High Street was closed at Oliver Goldsmiths by the police. Lots of traffic being diverted north, not sure why.

Was absolutley fine this morning for me, 12 got me to station and although 8.16 was delayed until 8.18 from PR and was rather busy I experienced no problems.

[Timster]

Thanks. That explains the buses. It does seem odd that there was a problem with ice on the rails this morning - it's not exactly mid-winter conditions out there. I'm feeling less grumpy now though.

I got the 7.14 to London Bridge and had no problems. Colleagues coming in from Kent had problems with trains due to ice though

[Strawbs]

I got the 8.05 to LB and no probs whatsoever..

[Moos]

no worries on the 7.50 either. 'cept it was dead full, but that's BAU as we wanky consultancy folk say.

Apparently there were some police raids on properties near Southampton Way, so they shut down traffic on surrounding roads, so most buses were suspended temporarily along the Peckham Road.

SNAFU

Looked like there was an accident involving a bendy bus at Peckham Road junction with Southampton Way. At 7.30 they were putting someone onto a stretcher and into an ambulance. When I went back past at 8 they had closed Peckham Road in both directions.

Southeatern line between tonbridge and redhill was frozen and then a train broke down at redhill at 8am - caused delays accross all south eastern services

7.51 from ED was much more packed than usual, could hardly get on the trai and itnearly kicked off on my carriage between to angry gentlemen.

I hope it is not so busy tomorrow or they could be more shenanigans.

Huge delays on the #185 again and tailback at Camberwell Green. It took me an hour and a half to get from ED to Victoria.
