Hot weather train services

[Bic Basher]

Southern have cancelled all trains between Caterham and London Bridge on Monday and Tuesday of next week. It appears the Beckenham Junction trains will run on those days with half hourly gaps between trains.

There are also no Southern trains from Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park to London Bridge.

However it appears there will be some form of an Overground service from Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park and Thameslink will operate from Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, but not from Tulse Hill.

As usual it seems any excuse to drop our Southern service.

Very frustrating.

Thanks BB - really useful to know! J :-)

Does John Hayes MP post on this thread? (Any excuse...). He's the one that called the severe weather planning an over reaction by a bunch of snowflakes. We will have the warmest day on record today or tomorrow. There will be massive disruption.

It's a pity that the current Tory leadership campaign doesn't feature climate change.

Sorry tomorrow or the day after. Hot weather has already got to me!

Just popped down to Peckham Rye

Overground cancelled - looks like more cancelled than not. But its better than getting us to work then saying no trains to return I guess.

Popped back to WFH

Seemed to be two trains an hour to and from London Bridge (Peckham).

Cancelling trains just means more people in cars Malumbu, which is worse for the climate if they aren't electric cars.

We saw that in the Covid pandemic and the local Labour administration spent many futile millions of pounds diverting traffic away from a select few roads and the London wide Labour administration singularly failed to get people back out of their cars and onto trains by not doing anything whatsoever to get teh trains back up to the old levels of service.

and then to make things worse the national Labour party supported train strikes a couple of weeks ago which encouraged people back into their cars and away from the railways.
