the people foot print through denmark hill is not that dramatic to need such a big station. Im surprised the people of Dulwich aren't just more annoyed because the station is now modern and not old with history.


When will people start demanding that network rail buy the old garden centre next to east Dulwich station and change it to a massive station forecourt

It's pretty busy. More so than any other close by.


According to the stats on Wikipeadia, it gets 3.7m per year. Compare to 1.8m at East Dulwich and just 3.2 at Peckham Rye (which gets both sets of trains). Herne Hill is 2.8m and has a pretty sizeable footprint.


Nobody is asking for a shopping mall - just decent facilities matching its station (excuse the pun) and matching similar sized stations on other TOCs or Tube/TfL run.

The stats above are a bit dated. Peckham wouldnt have benefitted from the ELL in the 2011/12 analysis.


Since the ELL; Denmark Hill has lost a link as well - so I anticipate that Peckham may be alot busier than suggested (hence the upgrades).

You clearly don't use the station very often!

Didn't they both lose the same link (London Bridge to Victoria inner loop) and gain the same link (Overground)?


I can imagine that the number of interchanges at Peckham Rye might have increased as a result, much more than at Denmark Hill, but otherwise it's a fairly insignificant factor isn't it?

You clearly don't use the station very often!


@edcam..... actually i do, there plenty of buses you can get from there instead!


Some places do not even have a station to complain about, thank your lucky stars. If people were a bit more polite and walked in an orderly fashion, the station would be more than adequate to deal with the demands.

Yes exactly - the changes were the same for both stations. Stats are out of date for both but they are fair as cover the same period.


I'd expect both stations to go up a lot when the next batch are released with the ELL included.


Considering Peckham has 8-12 extra trains per hour (to/from London Bridge) then Denmark Hill is clearly far busier. Due to Kings, it probably has a lot more off peak use.

have a look at Honor oak park


barriers & redevelopment of ticket hall few years ago


passengers running in an 'S' shape through ticket hall, poor use of space


now been ripped out, 1 long gate line installed, drastically quicker and better use of space


never know things could improve

The Overground replaced the inner loop at the majority of stations served by the old service, with an increase of services by two trains per hour. However, you need to change at Peckham Rye or Queens Road Peckham to continue to South Bermondsey or London Bridge. In the other direction, one train per day diverts to Battersea Park, otherwise change at Clapham Junction. During late evenings and Sundays, there's no direct service to Victoria, so changing at High Street or Junction is the only way to reach Victoria by rail.


Since the change with more trains, it's made it more viable to change for the tube at Clapham High Street, which is a short walk to Clapham North tube.

It's certainly bright in there. The wheelchair racing still appears to be going on.


If it's not going to be the old guys, then as they've done with the pub, it'd be great if it was made into an actual cafe/deli (assuming it won't be used for station facilities) - with seats to have in, as well as take away (a hatch onto the stairs?) and some seats outside. Denmark Hill has nowhere decent for a coffee.

it's gonna be a weird set-up whatever they do, because if the inner door (onto bridge) is open then it's only for station customers with a ticket, if they open the outer door then it's for anyone but travellers will have to run round the side of the premises to get the barriers to then get on their train. You can't open both doors because people will just stroll through to the trains unchecked.

Much has been said of the new entrance and much will be said for sure...I find it staggering how wrong the TOC and the architect got this... Something that was much anticipated has become something to be avoided..no entrance in Windsor Walk which when the back entry to The Maudsley is open again would ease the overcrowding of the ridiculously small new offering...just what is the old ticketing area going to become..retail space??!...a complete mess is all that I can say...the only way back ..for me is ..to build another new entrance or re open the original as a supplement to the current arrangement...so disappointing perhaps we could have agreed on a hub that supported bus and potentially tram as well as Overground based around the Western end of the station next to the car park and bridge over the station itself..I doubt any more will be spent on our station and that is such a shame...a trick missed...:-(

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
