What hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread is the effect that the extensive remodelling of London Bridge will have on services....

This is the reason why services to Charing Cross have had to be curtailed, and we may see them restored when the work at LB has finished.

Shutter will be wired up after close of service tonight. The power supply to the station will need to be switched off so it had to be done after the last train.

Ticket gates will be installed in the next 3-4 weeks.

I am currently trying to find out about this myself, Bensonby, as there are implications for me getting to work once the changes happen. My own guess (and I stress it's a guess , and not anything I have found out from work) is that the slow lines won't be able to accommodate the additional planned E...

You two were quick off the mark! Just heard it as well.

No sirens 3 or 4 mins later so I don't reckon that was a bomb but it was bloody close!

I'm just sad I didn't find it before and more of you were able to take advantage.

Nobody at work told me either, I just found it browsing round the website.

Although if you were registered on the Southern site I believe you had an email sent out to you about it.

Nice one :)

Good to see a new business on here turning a negative into a positive, (and welcome to the Forum by the way!) much as Kente have done (nice new coffee shop/cafe on the other side of the road from you guys a bit further up towards the station)

It's all good :)
