Google isn't coming up with much and I wanted to contact someone responsible for the station regarding the large cracks in the walkway up to platform 2 (with the building works next door, worried it could give way at some point?) and also the large nettles and brambles growing by day on both platform walkways that soon will be taking over and people will get injured (and worried about the nettles and brambles being at small child head-height).


Anyone know of any contact details? I know years ago the manager had a thread on here but it's no longer used.

Thanks

Hi Ginster,

All works within 10m of railway land have to be agreed with Network Rail. They are incredibly hard to work with - from my work experience over a number of projects/years. We always moved heaven and earth to find solutions that didn't need Network rail agreement.

At one point I met with Network Rail about this development to see if the developer could deliver a new ticket office, lifts, etc. Sadly Network Rail wouldn't talk unless ?1M was stumped up first to reinforce the railway embankment.

Working with the rail company was much more successful getting the final ramp put in place.


Network Rail will be all over this. The required permissions would take minimum 6 months to obtain. Network Rail will be monitoring this.


Nettles and brambles are the train operating company responsibility.


I've contacted the TOC and related both issues asking they come back to me when they'll be fixed.

And Southern have responded speedily by trimming back the greenery, I see ? although simply pulling up or cutting it would be better than spraying, but hey-ho. Also, the cracks leading down from platform 2 have been marked out, so hopefully some action there too.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
