I've got high hopes for Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye. Drinks and Snacks is often what I need as pass through Peckham Rye and now Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, has got that covered.


And if their coffee tastes of the last swill of a washing up bowl, like Sips' did, then all the better.

Listen, d_c, your personal remarks about Lady Sips are not relevant to the topic of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye.


Plus, she was always very friendly with me. She probably took offence at your excessive slimness and shit clothes.


Anyway, I'm very excited about the arrival of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye. It puts us on the level with Denmark Hill, and further extends our significant advantages over the unstaffed, drinks + snacksless, destinationally-challenged East Dulwich Halt (Mon-Fri only).



(Yes, lots of edits. Care)

Pish and tush. ED station has Blackbird Bakery to buy proper coffee and all sorts of fresh baked pastries and other toothsome delicacies.


That the mighty Carnell, in his tweeds and plus-fours is not a regular traveller through our fine station is a matter of regret to many fertile maidens of this Parish.

ED station has Blackbird Bakery to buy proper coffee


If ED station "has" Blackbird Bakery then Peckham Rye "has" several dozen butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers, art galleries, discount shoe shops, hair technicians, a steel fabrication yard, car mechanics, a cinema, churches, Macdonalds, and Iceland.


There's nothing wrong with being a one-train-an-hour stop-off on the Croydon-London line, but please don't talk your part up if you've only got a walk-on as a spear carrier.


That said, I look forward to the success of Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, leading to a franchisee operating a Motown Caff?, East Dulwich. They will have to make the booth a bit smaller to fit in under the football manager's dugout that currently provides "shelter" to East Dulwich's few passengers, but I'm sure they'll work something out.

That's DRINKS (plus) SNACKS, isn't it Ted ?


NETTE:-S

Sent by telepathy

Mr Palaeologus also tried this annexation of nearby facilities to advance the cause of East Dulwich Halt.


I think it's a shoddy tactic, although clearly deemed acceptable in the more arriviste postcodes. But the fact remains the station itself is barren of staff, drinks + snacks and even, it seems, trains.


Peckham Rye:

Staff

Ticket barriers

ATMs

Old waiting room

New waiting room (with heater, arm chairs, sofas)

Local art

General air of old world charm

And last but of course not least, Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye, soon to be fine purveyor of drinks + snacks.


East Dulwich:

On-ramp

Off-ramp

Some shops round the corner

We all know that when alighting at Peckham Rye and in need of "Hot Drinks + Snax", then you should make a beeline for Motown Caff?, Peckham Rye.


However...I take SE15's soulful offering and trump it from the Enid Blyton-esque idyll of North Dulwich where a new morning offering that I call "M-Treble-C" (Middle Class Coffee Cart) has just started up.


As of this week, an plucky entrepreneur has been serving "quality ground coffee plus snacks" from 7am and I'm a fan...

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
