Good evening


This is my last update, I am ready for my bed been up since 430am and another early start tomorrow. Trains are severly affected for Sussex coast, metro area trains are running, some cancellations and delays but london bridge remains operational till end of service


However, with these freezing temperatures predicted tonight, I honestly believe that tomorrow morning will be chaotic! Network rail will run ghost trains tonight to keep routes open for the morning, I strongly suggest checking Southerns website first thing. I will update also in the morning


I have teams out at 1am to clear snow and another team out at 4am, East Dulwich is first on list and is also having paths cleared as I write this. It has been at times today, a losing battle clearing platforms

If you drive carefully at 20mph, keep in high gear low revs (e,g, move of in second gear and do not spin drive wheels) and have reasonable tyres. a light foot etc etc some back streets seem quite empty - I'm just guiding a friend (from Loughhborough junction to Nunhead) - up Herne Hill Road, right into Ferndene, left down Denmark Hill and right up Champoin Hill, across Dog Kennel Hill. down Grove Hill, left and right into Malf Road, Avondale and Maxted to up Crystal Palace Road, left into Underhill left on Dunstans, up Colyton / Homestall (oops - some silly b----er driving fast has just hit a parked car!!) and home


Hope that helps someone - if you have any grip at all try it as the roads leading to all the hills e.g. Forest Hill Road seem blocked by stuck cars

Having just spent quite some time this evening enjoying the fine view of The Plough and the library with my increasingly irritated 2 year old daughter in the car, I've been thinking unthinkable things about the bendy buses... On a more positive note, the weather has brought a new experience: that of finishing off my car parking by hand pushing the back of the car sideways against the kerb on a rather icy Landcroft Road. Not much help from me, but appreciating the updates and deciding to make a first post after a couple of years lurking....

Found out about Dulwich Hamlet's closed from my sister - what a nightmare for some parents and they've only just gone back - I'm lucky in that I'm a registered childminder so work from home (although I've got a week off now, ha ha with 3 of my own) - got two at The Charter so they will prob follow - will find out tomorrow to their delight.


Government are trying to get all parents with kids over 10 back to work - how's that gonna happen?

      Dirty Business on Channel 4

      By Moovart · Posted

      It's taken time to see the legacy of Thatcher's free market policy but we're really seeing it now with utilities, housing and infrastructure 😢.  I think I've remembered correctly that on Dirty Business they said we are the only country in the world to have our water supply totally privately owned.   When it gets taken back into public ownership the private owners will rub their hands together with glee having withdrawn massive profits and bonuses over the last 30 + years, let the infrastructure go to pot and now have the taxpayer come back in after this long period of neglect and pay for the failing systems to be rebuilt.  If you think those companies will suffer at the hands of government then you have more faith than I.  Thatcherism has a lot to answer for ☹️

      what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.

      The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
