London Bridge station closed

[a_m]

Due to an "electricity supply problem", London Bridge station is currently closed and all Southern services are affected.

[Jessie]

Much the same service from Southern then.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[Otta]

overground stopping at new x gate too.

[alice]

No overground from Clapham junction to Peckham and Victoria totally messed

[unlurked]

It's bad out there

[spark67]

My Partners stuck on a train just outside London bridge right now, been stuck there nearly two hours so far no one can get off, they have been told there's been a fire somewhere thats affected the power supply. he has no idea when it's going to get moving :(

[jcrwillcox]

Roads pretty good for the 343 from london bridge to peckham rye, 30mins

[jimmyraj]

Victoria was shut down too. No trains via Peckham and Denmark Hill, and roads jammed because of an accident at Oval.

[Readey]

I managed to get from Victoria to Clapham junction, then overground running to Denmark Hill. What a nightmare though.

[NewWave]

It took me two hours from leaving work at Bond Street to get home to Forest Hill, I was completely stranded.

Nightmare and not what I needed after a day of work.

[????]

The buses were certainly busier but they didn,t take much longer....are some people unaware they exist? Tube to elephant and from central London and a bus took about 50 mins to SE22

[lozc]

Buses better south of Elephant, but had to walk there from London bridge, impossible to get on anything around London Bridge earlier. One friend further south-east has just taken 4 hours to get home - I suspect highly unlikely things will be back to normal tomorrow at this rate ...

[unlurked]

Trains running normally from ED.

Um, why? The problem was a small fire which was under control quite quickly. The issues was it happened at peak and created a massive backlog.

Unsure why this would create issues in the morning. Still waiting for the snow chaos ...

Could commute by bike and avoid all these irritating delays :-)

[PeckhamRose]

Yawn. the smug fit and healthy attitude of the average Cyclist. "We ALL should and could be cyclists."

NO, we COULDN'T!

... given the recent incidents, that doesn't seem an attractive proposition. As they say, better late than never.

Or you could all take a private chauffeur to work like me ...

Or could gnaw my own limbs off, which would be preferable.

[BrandNewGuy]

Tens of thousands of people using the existing straightforward urban rail infrastructure could well be the greenest commuting option, so it's unwise to employ 'greener than thou' arguments for cycling to work.

what edcam and Peckham Rose said

[polla2256]

I did wonder what all the fuss was about as I cycled past Denmark Hill station.
