I prefer on-ear rather than in ear - the comforting pressure that El Pibe mentions is an nice

Hi Jeremy I tried some akg490 headphones yesterday and looked the part (charge using USB and fully foldable) but was immensely dissapointed when i tried the noise cancelling button, there was a horrible tinny crackle which ruined the whole experience. I am swaying towards the akg k451s as mentioned but worried they won't do the job on flights or noisy trains. My previous pair handled it well and sometimes I used the NC button but not always.

Isolation are definitely a possibility. As long as they block out most noise... the AKGs I had were pretty good - it's just the lead was a bit dodgy and wanted to get a refund before the warranty expired.. I'd probably get the same again but can't..

I've just had to return my noise cancelling headphones after one of the leads became faulty. They were AKGs and I thought they were a brilliant pair of headphones. I had them for just under 2 years but managed to get my money back just before the warranty expired! Unfortunately, the model I had has been discontinued, so I'm looking for alternatives. What does everyone else use? I tried some in RicherSounds yesterday and was impressed with the AKG k451 which is only ?50 but sounded a lot better than other expensive alternatives. The only issue with these are they are not noise cancelling and might not be suitable for flights or noisy trains. Does anyone have any recommendations for the ?50-150 bracket?

Too many people this year...

Hi OD - thanks for removing some of the mystery. I have seen people speaking on their phones in City Thameslink station which I've always found odd. Can you listen to the radio with no signal? What app do you use? I'd love to get 6 music in the mornings. I mainly use the time between blackfriars and st pancras reading all the tweets from my feed in the last few hours, which is useful for my work. E-dealer - I know exactly what you mean ;-)

Glad but also sad to see this debate I started raging on - I've posted here about the latest blot on the station. Only a fence, I know, but just another example of poor design and consideration of the environment of the station: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1210050 I am sure local stations are getting busier and busier but Denmark Hill seems busier than ever and the design has not provided the additional space or flow required to deal with a demand which is large, particularly with high employment at the local hospitals and teaching colleges.

Does anyone get the train from Peckham Rye/Denmark Hill which goes to E&C, Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon, St Pancs and get a good phone signal on the way? Mine is very flaky and I certainly don't get any signal from City Thameslink to St Pancras (except for a short window at Farringdon). But, I still see people using their phones, either surfing or even taking a call... Is anyone else able to do this?

Now we have a horrible fence erected on the platform 4 side of the station - it's so ugly but not surprised. Also, I don't understand the point of it because it is quite a low fence and won't keep much out...

I've just signed up to Riverfords, who grow and pick seasonal veg and deliver it to your door. http://www.riverford.co.uk/ I received a knock on my door last night from a friendly sales agent and signed up to a trial. I was passed onto the the phone to give my card details which I didn't feel that comfortable about outside my front door but it all seems legit having a search on the web and on EDF it seems they are a proper company and I have received email notifications about my account.

Do it - it's ace

I've just been to the dentist and whilst my teeth have no pain I have been told I need three fillings to stop potential rot. This will be expensive, but is it necessary??

I have great sympathy for the local trader but if we're all honest it is about cost and convenience. Who has time to go to all the shops down the high street when its easier to go to Sainsburys and do it all in one fell swoop? It's a sad situation to be in. However, I am willing to pay a little more money at a proper butchers and occasionally a grocer. Are we all guilty of the demise of the local shops? Is it fair to blame the supermarkets?

I probably walk through the Dulwich Hamlet FC car park a couple of times a week and every now and again there seems to be a new bundle of clothes strewn in the corner of the car park. The clothes are womens clothing, comprising of quite a few bras and often a wig. I see different bundles on different occasions... very odd.

There was a planning application for this premises, no? Also, a quick look on Right Move shows that the flat above the shop is up for rent...

Good news about the lifts. Anyone know about the state of the rest of the station? Some concrete fell down the other week, I think under the old bridge at platform 1. This bridge has a weight restriction.

Thanks Sue, that's good to know. Even with a ?1 increase, they are going to be a lot cheaper than Virgin.

Virgin media keep upping the monthly cost for broadband. It's a reliable service but getting expensive. Anyone have any experiences of PlusNet? Look like a nice friendly Northern company...

I'm on 3 and my partner is on Orange or EE (whatever it's called). Our mobile signal is really bad, particularly indoors. I have to go outside to get a proper signal which is not good. I have tried a virgin sim card and that was no better. We live near Grove Lane, on the top of the hill but that doesn't help one jot.

Photo from twitter looks like old bridge on platform 1.

Twitter is saying broken down train just outside Denmark hill station - hope there's air con! Also the rumour mill says some of the bridge had fallen down but this is unsubstantiated at present

What about other train routes? Is whole of the station closed?

TfL are reporting that the overground is currently suspended due to an obstruction on the tracks at Denmark Hill. Anyone have any further info? Not ideal on one of the hottest days of the year!

We need multiple exits around the station's site. I am interested to see what they are going to do with the old ticket hall - currently being refurbished. Hopefully it will reopen and be another option but might not be an exit as there isn't really a space for ticket barriers. If the Phoenix bar was not there, then the station might be more spacious. You could have spill out where the outside of the bar currently is. However, am I right in saying that historically there was once a brewery and pub on the station's site and this burnt down, and hence The Phoenix was built sans the brewery. Can't argue with history...

What about some railings directly outside the entrance - people can easily spill out into the road? I think the pavement is too narrow during busy times, usually you have a station entrance set back a bit from a road to allow people to loiter and wait. It seems very little thought has gone into how people use the station.
