On the Overground issue, it looked at first as if they were going to give a much reduced London Bridge service, a service that many residents used to get to work and which was already overcrowded. Had local associations and others not protested, how likely is it that we would have gained the vital platform extensions that now allow for longer trains? OK, we are down to 4 trains an hour instead of the former 6, but with extra carriages, the London Bridge service seems to be coping and yes - the Overground's great. Only downside is a surge in planning applications to build houses and flats or offices just about everywhere. Organic development in line with the character and needs of the area is fine but I am not too happy when developers simply see our neigbourhood simply as an opportunity to make a pile.
