Well, from where I am sitting, Barry Road is a nightmare - there is traffic blocked up the whole length of the road as the cars going up cant get any grip due to the downfall of snow we had just before 4.30pm today.


I have heard that London Bridge is now closed due to signalling problems and there are no trains coming this way.


The buses seem to have stopped as well, as there is a Number 12 sitting half way up the road with its hazard lights on and not moving.


I thought the main roads were supposed to have been gritted - as there has been nothing on Barry Road at all - much to the disgust of every motorist on there at the moment.


How are you supposed to get home on a night like this?

Looks like trains are ok except for Southeastern (and Eurostar). For those coming home from central London it may be best to get to any train station, avoiding travelling through London Bridge if it's indeed closed (doesn't show as closed on TFL at the moment). Peckham Rye may be a good bet.
My husband just got onto a train from Farringdon which will stop at Peckham Rye (final destination Sevenoaks). It left with just a 7 minute delay. Not sure which other stations in central London are on that route but it may be worth a try if you're anywhere near.


Well, quite - but that wasn't the original question. The vast majority of people travelling back from town can walk without problem


I would have hoped the infirm and or pregnant took heed of the weather warnings and acted accordingly (work permitting)


But yes if you are infirm or pregnant and struggling to get home you are banjaxed

The quuestion was how do you get home. I left work at 8 this morning and all was fine so people would have had little excuse or the choice not to go to work, I checked the forecast throughout the night and this weather or lack of the ability to deal with it was not forecast.

I just walked all the way from London bridge as the station seemed closed and none of the buses had space.

All buses seem to be terminating along the way. Walworth road was at a stand still. Denmark Hill and Dog Kennel Hill are very icy so going very slowly. I did see a train at Denmark Hill station heading towards London Bridge.

Its a complete farce, that's all I can say. Why has the snow caused such gridlock? Ok, I can Imagine it slowing traffic a bit, but complete gridlock? I cycled from Fulham to ED this eve, wandsworth, clapham, brixton, herne hill, gridlock. Was a flaming nightmare.


Is the city still in a state of gridlock, or have things eased a bit?

I abandoned my car in Goodrich Road (well, parked it at the side of the road) after discovering every road with a hill seemed to have a car stuck on it. Except Underhill Road close to the Dunstans Road junction which had a bus slewed halfway across the road near the bottom of the hill.


Basically the roads are like icerinks. I skidded 4 times on Goodrich Road in the space of about 100 yards, and finally gave up when the car in front of me skidded into the back of the car in front of him!

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
