"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!!

    • How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it. 
    • Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while. 
    • Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however. 
    • I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
