I think you're right about those... but just to be clear, there are some stump things at East Dulwich station, on the ramp to the London Bridge platform!! Just not sure I see the point if they do put them in - they'll doubtless break and stop people getting on their train in the morning. Or maybe they are for Oyster card readers?

Okay, so your other half has been shagging the neighbour; it doesn't stop you reading properly.


I laughed at this. I am a bad person...


I hope they do put in gates on that side - stop me wandering onto the trains on the day my pass expires and/or I leave it at home.


But I doubt they'll stick in gates. I believe that gates have to be manned and that's never gonna happen. More likely Oyster readers for prepay - when it is introduced.

We got gates at Forest Hill recently which are manned, staff who weren't there before. They do go home at 8ish though and just leave them open. The a bit later the ticket hall's shut completely and they just leave the side gate open.

You still can't buy an Oyster Card there though..

Gotta say I think barriers are a good thing - an extra 30 seconds each day at p.rye station would be favourable to the once-a-week 10min queue when the inspectors descend and huge groups of morons try to argue their way past with clever "oyster at home" based ploys.

Sydenham had teething problems in the first couple of weeks, I think to do with the programming of the barriers, and the bottle necking effect.


However, people seem used to them now, and traffic seems to flow quite nicely through them. Basically, people who have big problems with barriers going up tend to be people who are not buying tickets.

I don't have an issue with a barrier going up, although I do hope they think carefully about putting one up that will still allow people in wheelchairs and people with baby buggies to get through - those steps are already a bit tricky even for a buggy and the slope must be a killer for a wheelchair user.


The only time I get caught without a ticket is when I've been dozy and forgotten to renew my pass, so the barrier would actively help me there!

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By Kipper_1972 · Posted

      Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)

      Up the reform

      By Sue · Posted

      If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.

      Can anybody recommend a good local plant nursery or garden centre?

      By Sue · Posted

      You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.

      Isn't that one of Farage's locals?
