I know it's an unusual complaint, but in the last two weeks my train has twice left 2+ minutes early from Tulse Hill and East Dulwich and I and others have missed our connection.


Also the train I was alighting at ED yesterday was also early. The early departure of the Southern Train at 6.08pm (should have been 6.10pm) left a family, who had already used their oyster card to touch in, waiting, when they should have had plenty of time to catch their train.


I've sent an e-mail to southern, can I encourage others that have had a similar experience to do the same? The e-mail address is:

Trains departing early seems to happen all too often from ED station. In theory they can close doors early to depart on time, but do have a habit of being a bit too quick off the mark. You could direct emails to Kai Hills at Southern Railways as he is responsible for the way the franchise is run.

Good evening


I did see this posting and thought I would deal with the right people before responding. These incidents of train departing early has been looked into now. After a conversation with Southern's Head of Trains, he informs me that the managers of the depots have been spoken to and this has now been addressed with the drivers


Any further incidents please post on the Station Manager Corner and I will deal with


Hope this helps and fingers crossed no more early departures from ED/Tulse Hill etc

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
