Southern site seems to be down at the moment and even when working isn't giving live info. National Rail site was up a few mins ago and was giving live info


National Rail

Hi, I feel embarrassed and can only apologise! I have tried myself using my Ifone and it appears that the live departures is down. I don't like to assume but can only think that because of the revised timetable etc its causing problems. I am makings enquiries now high up the chain


Very sorry

Blimey, how is it that Goodrich is able to be open and not Heber. And when will Heber finally get itself a simple website. It's not rocket science!

No problems getting into the City this morning - 8.05 to LB and bus from there. Apart from the odd patch of ice on the pavement you could hardly tell it had snowed in the centre. Side roads back in ED fairly icy but not too bad, and the path up to the platform at ED was more slush than ice.

That might be mine! Should probably check tonight...

From a new thread that was posted about weather conditions:


"If you are thinking of heading up or down Avondale Rise you may encounter a few problems, the ice is really bad this morning and there are a few buses stuck on the road..Please use an alternate route if you can.."

I got in fine this morning on the 08:15 to LB, buses were also running fine.


I'd definitely say - watch out for the pavements! Last night I fell over and smacked my head pretty hard on the slope down from the platform at ED, it was sheer ice and everyone was going down holding onto the wire netting but it was still like ice skating. People were really lovely and helped me up but it was pretty painful. I did see a guy shovelling it this morning but last night no-one was there and it was pretty bad. Take care!

Driving around Goodrich/Landells Road - this crossroad is a bit of a nightmare! Sheet ice with a slight gradient and absolutely no grip. I was out last night pushing people who had got stuck and were skidding into parked cars. Avoid if you can!

Hi, I walked to Peckham Rye station this morning and think this divert is due to a burst water main on Rye Lane, rather than the weather conditions.


Kind Regards

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
