Calling all users of Peckham Rye station. This is the busiest interchange station in the entire country without step free access to platforms or accessible facilities for passengers. It is also now dangerously overcrowded at times. Even with the reduction in rail travel during Covid-19 the station remains overcrowded at times. Network Rail now has the go ahead from the Government to spend the money to redesign the station interior and platforms as necessary to make it step free and reduce overcrowding.


They have set up a quarterly zoom public meeting to be updated on the design work as they look for solutions. The first meeting was this evening. The next one is on 13th January 6pm-8pm. It will be good if people who use the station can sign up for updates and get to the meetings. They are keen for feedback on the ideas.

i am starting this thread to let people know and also to encourage station users to share views about the ststion and how it can be improved for access and stopping overcrowding. More info:

It?s very overcrowded and those stairs/passages are like something from a sixties Soviet film. The exterior is lovely and I?m glad it?s been revamped to an extent but the immediate environs are dystopic ? makes me think of Quatermass and the Pit. It?s doubly bad if you?re disabled, infirm, with kids or dogs. I hope it?ll chsnge for the better soon.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
