Peckham Rye Station

[chattyman]

Is anybody else getting rather irate when leaving the station in the evening and having to battle through loads of unsupervised children with scooters and footballs?

[jimbo1964]

Not me.

[traveller1]

not me. kids having fun are the least of my problems with the station. More than one functioning ticket machine would be nice.

[Spokesman]

Yes, chatty man. If the tumble weed giant hair balls were not enough to contend with, the annoying/screaming little $hits surely are.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS

[Jeremy]

"first world problems" is the most pointless expression imaginable. We live in the first world, hence a first world problem is a problem. It is a tautology. And it is bloody annoying.

Saying that, I use the station every day and have never noticed these kids. Or the giant hair balls that people keep complaining about.

Think it may only apply to those people that were never a child themselves.

Scooters and footballs. ???

and all you are doing is just trying to get home.

How frightfully annoying.

Hair balls unruly kids and dark dingy smell alleyway out of the station. Lovely, just what we all want to be greeted with after a long day at work. No idea why anyone is complaining.

I've never seen any fur balls but intrigued.

[chattyman]

I did complain to Southwark council as I am sick to death of walking through hair weave and dirt on the Blenheim Road exit to the station, it's disgusting some evenings. I have even seen dead mice as people just throw food and packaging on the floor. Last night, the unruly kids were running in the alley, and playing football, with no supervision and bashing into people. It's mayhem between 6-7pm.

God, that's awful. I see kids out between 6 and 7 in East Dulwich too, so it's spreading. But no footballs. But definitely scooters here too. Let's ban them, the lot of them.

[????]

Excellent, I am looking forward to winding Jeremy up for at least 2-3 months

[????]

Personally I'm a sick to death of all the miserable twats coming out of the station looking like they loathe their jobs/lives/existence....it's why I go on the bus with the plebs and kids

Life's too short you miserable tossers

[Jessie]

For once, I agree with ????

[chattyman]

???? - I am a jolly and smiley media professional. I just get very frustrated when I have to walk through a playground with crap on the floor - if I dumped rubbish in my road, surely I'd be done for fly-tipping? Don't get my started on the busses - people eating smelly food, babies and prams making a song and dance getting on and off, and only usually travelling 2 stops, oh and the drivers who can't drive - excessive breaking and slowing down so we stop at EVERY traffic light.

[Louisa]

Stick to a car. Public transport is vile. I can only imagine how awful it must be to rely purely on a bus or train. And as for walking out of a station after a long day at work to be greeted with the pungent smells and dirty streets of Peckham Rye station entrance- well... Needless to say, I totally feel for those of you with a gripe.

Louisa.

Stay at home, even better

Right, yeah I guess if you get home at 4:30pm, the vibe might be a bit different...

[spider69]

This is part of Peckhams rich cultural and edgy personna. Soon to be lost

[chattyman]

Soon to be lost - GOOD!

Transported to Lordship Lane. More indi shops to keep the locals happy

[Peckhamrye]

I travel by public transport because I don't drive because I can't afford a car. I travel everywhere by public transport. I commute to and from Peckham Rye Station most days to Rotherhithe, and shop along Rye Lane, and feel I must live in a parallel universe to people here. Why is everyone so intolerant?

So, you enjoy travelling to and from Peckham Rye station. Good for you. Not everyone does. I don't see why it is intolerant of a person to want a nice clean tidy station area and not have rowdy kids running up and down making a noise.

[standswithfist]

lucky you for getting home at that time! its dark when i get out of the station! my mate worked in media and she was NEVER in the office

[Peckhamrye]

But Louisa I don't experience these things...we live in the city, there is going to be a bit of rubbish and kids around. As there are in every city I have lived in.
