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

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
