@londonassembly.bsky.social Looking for info on when the direct Lewisham-Stratford DLR trains will start again. Stopped in July to “coincide with school hols” for reduced disruption, but it’s late October now, they’re still off, and there’s been no news. Can you help? Thanks! #assemblytransport

I only tried to go once and they were so snooty we didn’t stay! But yes, hasn’t been open for a few weeks as far as I know, garden area getting more dilapidated by the day! I’m just nosey because only a few months ago they were asking people to pay to join them as a member club thing. Runner done…?

I know this isn’t actually old twitter from when twitter was good, but just in the off-chance: anyone know what’s happened to High Road Social in Greenwich?

I have not fact checked this. It is too perfect.

Silvertown tunnel: Still abysmal for Greenwich pedestrians and cyclists before opening? - Murky Depths With days until the Silvertown tunnel is set to open are things any better for cyclists heading to the bike bus or pedestrians crossing?

With Silvertown tunnel days from opening I went to see how pedestrian and cycling routes in the area are looking.

Yep.

WTF has Apple done to photos, and how do I reverse it? Seeing things from last September instead of stuff I took last week. Never been closer to going android!

If you drink in your local once in a blue moon, do dry January or never go in the bloody place, then don't cry when your lovely local boozer closes and is replaced by a Poundland.

Not only would I sign this, I could also provide some of the worst case photos.

Google Streetview has been updated to Oct 2024 in parts of SE London like Woolwich and Thamesmead if you fancy a nose around all the recent changes.

Woolwich's many developments on there such as Berkeley riverside towers, Morris Walk estate rebuild, student block in Woolwich etc.

I’m late to this, but I wonder why they didn’t put the one with a vertical edge on the side with a corresponding vertical edge. For that reason, I’m out.

Looks great both ways. I love the extra light brought into the home on a tree (however many dimensions it has!) at this time of year.

I enjoyed the placement of this ad - delays while they are adding features to make the commute a little more comfy…?
