What's wrong with "ask politely"?

A station somewhere between ED and FH would be ideal, since there is a fairly wide residential area in a "hole" more than 20 mins walk from any rail station right now. Downside is, it would be new track/tunnel all the way so no cut-price option for rail planners, so not much chance of it happening.

Agree the numerical reasoning is poor... to define excessive at 85%, then say 3 in 20 are excessive is meaningless. 3 in 20 are "excessive" anywhere and everywhere by that definition. Pedantry aside, I don't think 22.4mph at the 85th percentile seems very high, actually. That's in keeping with what I see walking down melbourne grove as I do every day, twice a day. LalKJ, I don't recognize the "major problem", I almost never see lorries, and I don't see traffic "gun down it as fast as possible" either. Having occasionally driven a hirecar around the area it is not a road to drive fast down, the parked cars and speedbumps do a decent job at slowing you down already. I think a 20mph zone is entirely unnecessary.
