"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)

Streatham Hill Area/London Bridge

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!!

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
