London Bridge rail redevelopment thunders on

[_pH_]

I use london bridge sporadically - does this mean no trains for the time being between tulse hill and LB?

They're still running, it was just last weekend when no Southern services were running to/from Londom Bridge that the West Croydons were terminating short at Tulse Hill (or South Bermondsey, except that didn't happen).

But if they do stop running them, I will nick a unit off the depot and run a train especially for you.

A new set of buffer stops at the end of the truncated line that used to go into 14/15/16. That's a bit scary heading for them at 20mph when you can't quite see if the points are set for the diverging route.

Photo update: parts of the new structure have become visible on St Thomas Street as the upper hoardings have been taken down.

Apparently this Wolff 700B crane is the first of its type in the UK, capable of lifting 50 tonnes. Two more are scheduled to join it as the project progresses.

They're ploughing on with this. Some really impressive engineering. Logistics too - so much to coordinate.

...the Shard's already sinking isn't it...?

( mind you it'll probably be a while before it disappears entirely below ground level )

The relatively good news is that the amended timetables into the Southern bit of the station is working well . They did an excellent job over the last weekend...
