The edge of Peckham Rye itself, just before Rye Lane starts. The buses were going as far as the Co-op building, terminating and then turning round and heading back north from there. I'm sure the one I was on stopped by the Library though, on Peckham Hill Street. Better luck tomorrow.

The buses are definitely running, slowly but running.


The bus drivers are doing a great job!


As for trains, only the East Croydon shuttle via Forest Hill running every 30 mins when I came through London Bridge.

No Southern trains from ED or Peckham Rye tomorrow, however a special service will be in operation from Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park tomorrow with trains every 30 mins between London Bridge and Purley.

I'm on a half empty 40 home - all good - although looking a bit over dressed in they ski gear that I used to walk in to Leadenhall St today....


I agree with Gabba. The walk in is great if you leave early and make the effort. Work shy softies the lot of you.

Do think the bus drivers deserve praise for keeping so many routes on the road this time round. While there were delays and higher demand than usual, the bus service does seem to have been better than Jan's snow. I was astonished to see some of them this morning. Think I might drop a note to TFL or the 185's operators.
London Overground will run a reduced service from Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill of 4 trains per hour towards Dalston Junction, this is in addition to the 2tph service to London Bridge from Southern.
Could anyone offer a lift into town over Waterloo or Westminster bridges within the next hour? Can offer standard taxi fare - about ?20 - can't get an actual taxi for love nor money this morning even though they're all charging x1.5.

    • They’re rated as requiring improvement. And it seems that the care quality commission is keeping an eye on them. https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-565650623/inspection-summary It’s taken so long to get to this stage. See this article published in 2011:  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063458/amp/Family-doctors-firm-raking-1-8m-YEAR--patients-say-surgery-appalling.html We moved to The Gardens some time ago and never looked back. 
    • Surely they must be rated every couple of years? No idea why people stay with them but so be it. Plenty of alternatives locally so choose - stay or go.. Simple..    
    • DMC has been a shit show since I moved to ED which was 19 years ago… It will never improve unless it changes ownership.
    • I'm sure I just heard a few swifts just now, I'm sitting outside and heard them high above me but couldn't see them. Is this a record? Has anyone else heard them?
