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

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
