Train delays into London Bridge

Post by Search East »

Just seen the BBC news this morning, talking about the delays getting into London Bridge station due to a nearby fire.

Dare I ask how bad is it getting in to town?

Getting into Victoria from Sydenham Hill turned out to harder than I thought. The 8.17 turned up 10 minutes late but was already overcrowded so that not everyone on the platform could get on, and when the 8.29 arrived several minutes late that too could not let on all those who waited. Plenty of trains passed through without stopping, and I eventually got a late 8.47 to Blackfriars as that was the first train I could get on! Not sure if all this aggro was related to the London Bridge fire or something quite separate.
