Find a cheaper season ticket along your route and use that. As per my previous post, I now have a Gatwick to LB season ticket rather than Redhill to London terminals which I legitimately use

I have been commuting to London Bridge from Three Bridges for 20 years - it has certainly taken its toll mentally and physically - it can be brutal, especially when the service is rubbish like it is now (and will be for another 4 years). However, the rewards can balance things out - you just need to know your 'price'. There is no doubt that current train loading is up significantly as the City has been hiring last few years. It was all very civilised on the old 'slam door' trains in the mid-90's. Now you have to know exactly where to stand on the platform at TB to get on the peak 7.25am service to LB, and what the work rounds are when it all goes tits up. |

In december, platforms 10 and 11 will re-open, platforms 9 and 8 will be close and will rebuilt to the same level as the southeastern platforms and will continue on to charing cross. from 2018 platforms 3,4 and 5 will become the Thameslink platforms (i think!) Reduced capacity = totally no slack if there are any delays (one delayed train will delay everything else.) But i think it will be immensely better from 2018....

Will the current entrance be closing? The video focuses on a North and South exit that seems to run underneath the central areas of all the platforms. No more piling to the front of trains as you would be a maximum of 6 carriages from the stairwell exits in the middle of the platforms. Quite like that - if that is what they are doing.

From watching that video though - it highlights to me how important the street level concourse is to the build and why at least the train station part of it should have been completed before doing the 10 to 15 platforms.
The video mainly bangs on about the new shopping areas rather than the main function of London Bridge as a major railway station. They are trying to do too much all at once and commuters are suffering.

The Thameslink trains rolling around in White with Blue doors... Is that a temporary paint job? Only I can't figure out why the colour scheme when the Thameslink logo is Purple and Pink.

First are changing their colour scheme over the next few years. Grey and Green for the fgw franchise I believe (if they keep it)
