"To the woman at the bus stop outside Nero's this morning, who rather unhelpfully started with the scare mongering stories about not being able to get home this evening - Just be quiet and go about your own business!"


:))


It could be true. I fear it's going to be yet another nightmare journey getting home for huge numbers of people.

Morning


What can I say....... Southern experiencing severe delays on all routes, on top of this there are points problems at London Bridge causing major disruption in and out of station. Southern are trying to run a service however staff (drivers/platform staff) are delayed getting in. Most trains are running between 30/60 minutes behind schedules


I am asking for patience and again understand your frustrations so please bear with us, in addition staff will clear platforms and walkways once the snow has stopped. The information I have that it will continue to snow untill about 12/1300hrs.


The live departure information is on the southern website


We will do our dam hardest to get you home and have your stations cleared



UPDATE


London Bridge Underground is open

All southern tickets can be used on buses, trams, underground (if you can get one of course)

Trains still slow. Finally made it into work on 11:44 train which was delayed until about 12:20 (next train is cancelled, the rest simply show delayed). I was waiting at the station for quite some while. I'm hoping it will improve by this evening.
snowylady, where were you travelling from and to? I waited an hour for a train from ED to LB this morning and am trying to decide what time I need to leave office to pick kids up. Just checked live departure/arrivals boards for LB and ED - arrivals at ED all say "on time" and departures from LB just say "starts here" - just wondering whether this info can be trusted?

You have probably already left but 197 and 12 buses running ok down Barry Road at 1 o'clock.

Heber School closing at 2.30pm. Nothing on Goodrich website so presumably they are doing normal hours.


According to BBC website, local weather forecast is for drizzle rather than snow, and temperatures not dipping below zero, so not expecting the nightmares of last week to be repeated.

Southern Railway website is saying that last minute delays and cancellations of up to 30 minutes can be expected but no mention of the station being closed. Perhaps Barry will give us an update if he is allowed a break from shovelling snow!!

    • Does anyone know what happened to the lovely willow tree on the rye? 
    • Long shot, but I don’t suppose anyone has a Sticklinch car parking ticket that they don’t need for Glastonbury? Or could switch with my general parking ticket at all? Thanks!
    • Many years ago, our neighbours were in a Southwark rented property. Both flats in house had access to a shared garden which was fenced off part way with each flat having their own piece of land. The front garden was shared and since both flats had young children, they put up a fence and gate between front door and pavement. Nothing was said by the council and even though those neighbours are now living else where, the fence and gate still remain and Southwark owns the freehold.
    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
