I'm thinking of getting a Thameslink train from Denmark Hill to St Pancras tomorrow at about 7.30am.


A few months ago there were a number of posts complaining about how bad and overcrowded Thameslink services were, especially during the rush hour, but I haven't read any such posts recently. I'd be grateful if people could tell me whether the situation has improved on this service or whether it is still bad.


Many thanks.

It's busy, but certainly the best way to get to St Pancras locally. Lots of people get off there to go to work at Kings, so if you position yourself on the platform near one of the flights of stairs more people generally get off than try to get on. 7.30am is pretty early too, you should be fine.
The 8:16 from Peckham Rye was >5 minutes late today - and rammed solid. Time keeping generally seems to have become a little better since the continuous shambles a couple of months ago. Agree it is unfortunately still the best way to get to Farringdon / St Pancras...

It bombed along today though :)

I used to get the 7.34 from Peckham until April when I left my job. Sometimes it was rammed at Peckham & you had to force your way on, sometimes not... and I always felt sorry for people trying to struggle on at Denmark hill. A few people get off at the Elephant, and practically empties by the time it gets to Farringdon....glad I don't commute this way anymore.

    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
