As said by someone else on this forum I live in the East Dulwich wilderness (well off Forest Hill road) so my nearest station is Honor Oak Park. I just wondered if anyone else who travels from this station is fed up with being jammed onto a heaving carriage like sardines every morning - and usually it's even worse on the way home. And as for ever getting a seat -forget it! I've lived in various parts of London and have never known trains to be so packed. Is the service from ED/Peckham Rye like this? I'm tempted to start getting the bus to work!

I used to travel from Honor Oak Park to London Bridge, then bus to Gray's Inn Road (earlier is better, as Dukesdenver said). After Xmas they changed the timetable for trains in the evening, so coming home was even more horribly overcrowded. However, with the snow at the beginning of February and all the faffing around trying to get into work, I discovered a great bus route, which doesn't really take any longer, and I am saving loads of money on train fares! Try the bus!

      Fatality Dulwich (Seeley Drive, SE21)

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
