I know that it is planned at Honour oak to connect the East london line in 2011-ish and that East dulwich was to follow suit about a year after,but I as talking to an estate agent in Foxtons and was told the idea had been scrapped !


I hope this is not the case does anyone have any ideas of what is in place.

As far as i'm aware its never been going to East Dulwich? I thought its extending straight down to West Croyden via Forest Hill and Honor Oak for 2010/2011 and then a year later adding another extension from Surrey Quays to Clapham via Queens Rd Peckham and Peckham Rye?
My understanding is that the original plan was to connect to Wimbledon via East Dulwich (and N Dulwich Tulse Hill etc etc.)But was ditched for cost reasons. My master plan is to carry on the Bakerloo line from E & C to Camberwell (as proposed many years ago) at the very least.

I am quite happy with the Overground being close enough to be convenient but not so close as to change the character of ED.


People who live here have to be able to navigate by bus and train timetable, requiring mental dexterity and high moral character.

Possibly.


The train is fine most of the time, but a pain in the arse in the evenings. One train every 30 minutes is a bit shit.

If I had my way (and 5 billion pounds) the Bakerloo line would be extended along the route of the 176 to East Dulwich and Forest Hill, then above ground at Bell Green from where it could continue to Hayes or Bromley. This would provide the best solution to reducing overcrowding at London Bridge and Lewisham and provide connections from four separate national rail line and two arms of the East London Line. It would provide real underground connections for South East London across all zones. It utilises the only underground line with spare capacity as it reaches central London and the tunnel that already exists as far as Camberwell.

Tube at ED? Ha ha! Hilarious. I do hope this is a spoof.


What we will get is the Overground running from Shoreditch/Wapping/Rotherhithe south through Brockley, HOP, F Hill and then splitting to C P or W Croydon. That's this summer.


Then in 2012, as above, phase 2 - which is the Peckham Rye/D Hill bit.


Remains to be seen what it's like in practice, but I find it hard to imagine it will make things worse overall, although there'll be fewer trains to L Bridge.


As for extending the Victoria or Bakerloo, both have long been dreamed about but always defeated by unwillingness to tackle the south London clay to get through mainly not very rich or densely populated areas. The Northern line extension to Wimbledon in the thirties was dogged with difficulties with the clay. Bakerloo extension from Elephant to Camberwell actually started after the war, but ground to a halt - never to be resumed. P


Personally I mourn the Victoria-Moorgate loop which called at Honor Oak (as opposed to Honor Oak Park) and Lordship Lane as well as C P. Sadly that closed in, er, 1954.

Considering the amount of people who wanted to sue Thames Water for installing water pipes to solve some of the ED aqua-delivery issues, it comes as no surprise that the powers that be would steer clear of digging an underground line.


Even if the clay issue was resolved ED would still have the nimbys.


It's a very conservative working class enclave.

I've attached an article on how the Spanish extend tubes lines in Madrid - cut and cover ?35M/km deep tunnelling ?55M/km including station, signalling, etc.

They can build from conception to trains running within 4 years - whole tube lines 20km long. TfL talks about 20 year planning. They nearly did a five year project extending the Docklands Light Railway into Woolwich Arsenal 2.5km ?180M. Wierdly the same distance to extend the Bakerloo line to Denmark Hill as started in 1950.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
