Has anyone noticed how it seems that on Platform 1 (London Bridge bound) of the East Dulwich train station they seem to have replaced the seating (excellent) but have forgotten to replace the ones other than under the covered area (not excellent). This results in about 5 less benches in connection with an upgrade of others. Can this really be true?

Hi


Sophia is right, I wouldnt do that......I would not leave you without seating, they have been removed in preperation for the new ones being put in place, in total 12 new benches, plus the new additional shelter which is now on order


Kind regards


Barry

Hi


A little confused by the posting on a couple of points, the original shelters are still there so you wouldn't get wet, the additional one is on order so that would not make a difference due to the fact you have never had it and the 12 new benches are in place. I have been to ED to start checking the works and noticed they are all there


The works will be finished this weekend, the contractors are slightly behind as they need to switch off the power to finish the trackside graffiti and white edges to platforms and only have a small window to complete these works

AMAZING HOW UPTIGHT SOME PEOPLE ARE BEING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SIT DOWN FOR 5 MINS BEFORE A TRAIN ARRIVES - JEEZUZ !!

I KNOW IT'S A CONVENIENCE TO DO SO BUT HARDLY CHANGES YOUR LIFE TO HAVE SOME SEATS REPLACED DOES IT !!

Yeh, it would be better if they never bothered trying to improve the station, it's so inconvenient - not to mention a risk to health - while they're doing it :))

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
