Hi, my sister in law is coming tonight from Gatwick airport and I told her to get to Dulwich by train via London Bridge. She would take the train from London Bridge between 10 and 11 tonight. Is it ok to be on the train for a woman at this time of the night?

Thanks

The presumption should always be that it is safe - thinking otherwise sets up a victim mentality. That said self awareness makes sense - avoid dark streets, alleyways in rough neighbourhoods.


I've travelled regularly from LB in the evening trains between 10 & 11 will be fairly busy with a mix of tired business people coming home after work or pub and other regular commuters. There's safety in crowds and your sister will be fine - the worse could be a slightly inebriated businessman falls asleep on her should

I think Ves was thinking in terms of someone not used to London and that person being female. I think any woman should be wary of travelling in a city not known to you and the person flying into Gatwick might not have had much city exposure, or competency in speaking English!


I travelled a lot as a young woman but was bizarrely more self conscious in foreign cities than good old London. Better the Devil you know etc.


Ves she'll be safe and I hope she enjoys her trip.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
