matthew123 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Have had an email from Southern Railways saying that from 24th May there will be new departures during rush hour to London Bridge. So no longer 20 minute delays if you just miss the 7.29 a.m. or 8.15 a.m. !06:1206:3906:5507:0507:1507:2907:3407:4607:5708:0408:1408:2708:3308:4508:5909:04 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10699-more-rush-hour-trains-from-ed-to-lb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBen Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Nice one. Now I've got the choice, I can't be arsed with that "can you move down a bit!" 07.57 to 08:41 period anymore. And there was nothing more soul destroying to a man than just missing the 07:29. Great that Southern are finally waking up and realising that the higher suit count in ED these days means more city commuters and a need for a spread of times that reflect that. Er....thank you Barry! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10699-more-rush-hour-trains-from-ed-to-lb/#findComment-312165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladygooner Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 That is great news! All we need now is more trains after 8pm back into ED..........

boswell Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 So have the 8.35 and the 8.41 disappeared then? This is a pain in the arse for me in that case as the .41 used to get me in just in time for work. Those 8 extra minutes of sleep are vital!

matthew123 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Looks like they've moved them to 8.33 and 8.45Apart from more regular departures thus less crowded - the new trains such as the 8.27 and 7.57 will be arriving at Peckham Rye just minutes after other trains pass Peckham so should be a lot more comfortable in the event of standing.

KidKruger Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Earliest train in to LB still a provincial 0612 though !Something around 0530 would be handy I have to say.

ziggy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Many months ago a very resourceful Forum member produced neat credit-card sized timetables to/from ED. I still use them all the time and an updated one would be great. Sorry I don't recall who it was, but thanks in anticipation.....

sophiesofa Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I use mine all the time too but I don't think he (i think it was a man) was a regular poster so we might not be so spoilt this time.
