Toft Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Does anyone know when the lift at Denmark Hill will be finished? I'm itching to use the new overground but those pesky steps at Peckham Rye are making it difficult for a pushchair user like me.

Only me! Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If it's just an "overground experience" that is required, rather than actually using it to go go anywhere .... why not get on a normal train at ED (no steps) & change to the train of your desire at PR? Same platform & rarely a wait of more than 15 Min's. Dalston or Clapham await .....

Medley Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Interesting spending figs from House of Lords Q and Answer:Lord Kennedy of Southwark asked the Government how much they have spent on (1) Elephant and Castle, and (2) Denmark Hill, railway stations in (a) 2010, and (b) 2011.Baroness Stowell of Beeston replied that Under the National Stations Improvement Programme (NSIP) ?11,000, ?30,000 and ?879,000 was spent on station improvements at Denmark Hill station in 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 respectively. ?3.4 million of funding under the Access for All (AfA) main programme has also been spent towards a ?4.18 million project at Denmark Hill, which is due for completion in 2013. Of this, ?400,000 was spent in 2010 and ?1.6 million in 2011. Under the station commercial project facility, ?328,000 was awarded in 2011 for new station ticket gates and ?80,000 to improve retail facilities for passengers at Denmark Hill. There is no record of equivalent expenditure at Elephant and Castle.

simonethebeaver Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's a step-free station according to TFL. Can't remember how you'd cross platforms - there's the tunnel but it has some steps, but if you're just getting off the train and leaving the station, it's step-free both sides.

lane lover Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 On the ED side of Forest Hill (west side / northbound), there is a road you can drop off / pickup travellers. This comes off Devonshire Rd, and goes around the tree.The station is step free because there are lifts either side of the passenger bridge.

simonethebeaver Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You can usually get away with stopping briefly for free in the car park too, especially if you sit in your car!
