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.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
