What?s happening to ED Station!?

[MrDude21]

For the past 2-3 months there has been no southern rail representative working at the station, the ticket office has been closed for this amount of time, one of the Oyster card readers is broken and now all the electronic timetables just say ?Welcome to East Dulwich Station? with no train times..

Who do we speak to about this? Is anyone else frustrated that the station is just becoming abandoned by southern rail? I know the station has its minor ups and downs and I won?t even start about the service from Southern Rail with their delays and cancellations but I think it?s just gone too far now!

There is nobody in the ticket office because the builders working on the adjoining flats damages the water supply to the station. With no loo etc, nobody can work there. I don?t know about the electronic displays though..

And, naturally, a portaloo is too hard to install so that service can continue.....

There may not be the space for a portaloo (which needs roadside access to service). And these cost money. Of course the builder should be addressing this, if at fault, but is there the capacity or will to pursue them? Southern doesn't need customers to make money. And not paying staff just increases their profits. What's their incentive? You going to give up going to work are you? Or just continue to struggle through? Whatever sh1t they pour on you?

Hi MrDude21,

When the development 18-22 Grove Vale started it transpired that the ticket office water and sewage go via the 18-22 Grove Vale site. Hence the white trailer providing rest facilities.

They're now getting close to fixing this but have to dig across the road. Not sure when that is planned ot happen. But the permanent rest facilities will then be reestablished.

I've TWICE been caught by both ticket machines being out of order, despite the sign saying 'this machine is emptied daily'

Is either one working now please?

I saw someone mending the one on the left today and someone else using the one on the right, so fingers crossed they are now both working.
