Presumably a reduction in costs doesn't necessarily lead to reductions to ticket prices - it could just as easily lead to increases in executive pay, profits and dividends? Denmark Hill is an accident waiting to happen.

I tried to get a thameslink train from Denmark hill the other day. Signalling problems meant no trains. There was loads of confusion / little info and so people were hanging around whilst more and more people continued entering the station. It got dangerously overcrowded and became increasing difficult to get off the platform. It's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt due to this kind of terrible mismanagement. Meanwhile our taxes continue to be siphoned off into the pockets of Executives and shareholders.

Jeez, the amount of money wasted in yet another Boris vanity project....

I cannot understand how they're not in breach of contract /terms of the franchise. There seems zero accountability. Meanwhile they stuff their pockets with taxpayers and commuters money. It's criminal.

Why don't Southern just stop running trains and allow people to walk and cycle along the tracks?

....ED that is.

Hi Admin. I can't start a new thread for some reason? Help!

I hope you're right. It's a bit early to tell, but the picture should start to become clearer over the coming months.

Unfortunately, the council seem to have a 'he who shouts loudest' approach to prioirtising resources.

It's a really dodgy junction. Weird that so many extra set's of lights were put in along LL, but this junction was not addressed.

I agree with Lou - it's good to see something a bit practical opening up on the Lane.

.. but will anyone really notice the difference?

Oh la la.

Has anyone actually had success with keeping noise diaries - has any action ever come of it?

I really feel for you Lee. It's extremely stressful to have your personal space, your home encroached upon in this way. I hope you can find a solution.

I don't claim to have specialist medical knowledge. But it's pretty well established that Homeopathic remedies aren't effective beyond placebo effects. This is the NHS's position: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/homeopathy/Pages/Introduction.aspx#evidence I suggest that anyone follows the advice of their GP, as I said previously.

Alan - read my post again. I haven't given any 'medical advice', passed off as fact.

Or how about an ironic, retro concept bar, where drinks are served in a standard glass, only knowingly.

How about 'Sauce' where drinks are served in old ketchup bottles. Would bring new meaning to being 'on the sauce'. Alternatively, 'CupED' where all the drinks are served straight into one's own cupped hands (based in ED).

The train companies haven't hired enough staff to run things as they stand. They certainly aren't going to fork out for the new technology required to go driverless. Fundamentally, we need to reintegrate a fragmented system, invest in it properly and run it as a public service.

Homeopathic remedies aren't effective beyond placebo effects. I would follow your doctors advice - not sure about taking dizaepan with alcohol, I would have thought best not to. Sorry that you're having a difficult time - sounds like a tough year. wishing you the best.
