Hi


I had the embarrassing misfortune of slipping over at East Dulwich station last night, just before the steps at the bottom of the slope on the 'trains from London Bridge' side. I wasn't hurt badly, just a bruised and crazed knee and would normally just put it down to my shoes etc but I saw another lady do exactly the same thing as me a few weeks ago in exactly the same spot and wondered if there may be a potential problem. Whilst I'm not hurt, I was worried that if say an elderly person or pregnant person hit the same spot and slipped as I did it could be more serious.


I wondered if anyone knew who the best person was to report it to, I've had a look at the Southern website but there's not much info there on things like this.


Could just be coincidence and bad luck in the rain, but can't hurt for someone to just check?


Thanks

After noticing a rain drip inside a Soutern train carriage on 22 December, I sent a detailed email once I'd got home, to Southern Railways Customer Services . I got an email back on 22 January to say that it had been logged.

If there's a possibility of a hazard, I'd suggest a phone call, email, and tell the station staff as well, to ensure that they are definitely aware and on notice. Keep a record. It's also advisable to get on the record anyway, just in case your own slip has any subsequent consequences.

    • I got this  interesting email today. At least some (albeit apparently very few) shoplifters seem to have been arrested, though I wonder what the criteria were. Obviously that is only the ones arrested as a result of this particular initiative. Met Engage Logo Joint Partnership Success – Operation Roscoea, Southwark We’re pleased to share the success of Operation Roscoea, a joint partnership anti-social behaviour (ASB) initiative carried out in Southwark last week. This multi-agency operation saw eight partner representatives from six support organisations conducting outreach patrols alongside officers from our Trust, Confidence and Engagement Team. These joint efforts led to numerous new referrals into support services, ensuring vulnerable individuals are connected with the help they need. Neighbourhood policing teams also carried out joint patrols with Southwark Council wardens, who now hold newly designated enforcement powers. This enhanced collaboration has strengthened our collective ability to respond to ASB and community concerns. Operational highlights included: Six arrests made by officers from North Southwark Town Centre Team, St George’s, North Walworth, Faraday, Newington Ward, Chaucer, and the Proactive Crime Team: 2 for possession of a Section 5 firearm (CS spray) 1 for possession of Class A and B drugs 1 individual wanted for theft 2 for shoplifting ASB enforcement activity included: 2 Community Protection Notices issued to persistent offenders Numerous intelligence reports submitted to support ongoing investigations This operation is a testament to the dedication and teamwork of our local officers and partner agencies. Thank you to everyone involved for your continued commitment to making Southwark safer and more resilient. We look forward to building on this momentum in future deployments.

    • I've seen it in the same place the past two Fridays. I'm assuming it's some sand that's left over from when the old sand filters failed. When that happened there was lots of sand on the bottom. I'm guessing it'll only go if they use a pool vacuum to clean the bottom.
    • Maybe because you would have thought such an incident  would have been publicised, or  someone on here would know what it was? On the face of it it seems odd, especially if they were on blues and twos, if there was no serious  reason for it. Unless, as I said, it was some kind of training exercise?
    • If true I was told that the new swimming pool at Canada Water is also closed and will not open until end November/December due to problems.
