Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll see how I get on just jumping on the 484 or 185 depending on which comes first. Meanwhile I'll look out for a good (and cheap) 2nd hand bike as mine was knicked sometime last year. Hopefully by then it will be a little bit warmer Thanks for all the suggestions about the 185 vs. 484 & cycle routes

Thanks for both the replies - so if a 484 comes first, it's worth ignoring it and hoping a 185 is just round the corner? Does anyone have any idea how long cycling might take. Also how busy the roads are or is there a good cycling route?

I'm unexpectedly working at Lewisham Hospital for the next 3 months and I was wondering whether anyone had any advice on the best route as in my experience TFL's time 'estimates' are never that accurate. The possible choices I have are: 1. Bus: 185 which stops outside the hospital (estimated time 45 minutes) 2. Bus 484 to Ladywell then walk 10mins to hospital (estimated time 48 minutes) 3. Train to Ladywell via LB (estimated time 1 hour) [4. A car would be a possibility as I can get insured on a friend's but this would be more expensive as I would have to pay for insurance. Also I would have to find somewhere to park within walking distance of the hospital. Nevertheless, if anyone has any idea how long driving would be that would be great]. [5. Cycling might also be possible. But I had a accident going to LB a year ago and haven't had the confident to get back into it. It would also mean buying a new bike. Again, if anyone knows a rough time it would take that would be great] Basically at the moment I'm thinking the bus is the best idea. But I was wondering whether anyone could advise which out of the 185 or 484 is likely to be quicker? Or would it on average be quicker just to jump on the first one that comes - I haven't got much experience of buses so don't know about realistic frequency etc. Thanks

I had a terrible journey back too. Waited ages at Waterloo for a bus but none came. Eventually got to Elephant Castle and found a 12 back to the Plough and walked the final bit. Not as bad as others but still really annoying and it was impossible to find any information from anyone about what trains/buses were running

However, I admit that I didn't check carefully so I could well be wrong

Apparently it happened at 6am this morning. Only one car seems to be involved though. I just hope the child seat was empty. At least they were very close to Kings

I was wondering whether any of the early risers among you could post about whether the trains are running tomorrow morning. Although the Southern website suggests that everything will be up and running it would be good to know if the service is very delayed. Thanks
