If you know of something that should be on here, please tell us or tell the organisation to email us otherwise we won't know about it.

Both Canonbie and Netherby roads and roads leading off, Westwood Park, Ringmore Rise etc. impassable except by 4x4. Was gritted about 8pm 04/01, gritter now likely to severly struggle to make it up the hills.


Very light snow and almost stopping for now.

Denmark Hill trains seem a bit unreliable - according to the boards there this morning at just after 8, all northbound Thameslink trains (St Albans/Bedford) were cancelled through to 0837. But then 2 minutes later a train that the board said wasn't stopping pulled in and opened its doors, so I ended up getting in to work in almost record time. It's started snowing again here though, so whether I get back home is another question...

Hi


Southern train service for Wednesday 6th January


Heavy snow has fallen on much of the Southern network today. As a result, we are providing a revised timetable to give you the best possible levels of service.


The Southern Metro service will run as normal. Minor delays and a few cancellations


Sussex Coast services will be subject to severe delays and cancellations


Please refer to southern website if you are planning to travel to Surrey and Sussex www.southernrailway.com



I will post an evening peak update later this afternoon before 1530hrs to give you an idea how the evening will pan out


Again, please be careful on platforms some areas are untreated however my maintenance team have been working since 4am to clear unmanned stations and the rest of my staff working hard to clear the others


Regards


Barry

    • There are two causes for this problem   The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure.   The second issue is electrification.   Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.    That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover. 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum. 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.  Dean Richards  07888 651798
