Hi there


I'm looking at moving to Nunhead, alongside the train station, but I wanted to know how people who live nearby feel about the noise. Seems like passenger trains aren't too much bother (even the announcements) but what about freight trains? This list worries me: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/NHD/2014/03/20/0321?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt


A whole list of freight trains every hour ...


Any advice gratefully-received!


Thanks

I lived directly next to railway tracks for 5 years


I definitely noticed the noise initially, and with kids on the way, was worried about that aspect as well


But the noise melted into the background for me, and the kids never noticed


On some summer's days, in the garden, a passing train could be a pain


But overall I was fine with it and it had no hand in my decision to move


But as the plane thread shows, your mileage may vary

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.

      And still is, and hopefully will continue to be with changed ownership, should that happen.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Absolutely do not follow the advice to turn on and check the outlet yourself, but the previous part of the post above about contacting the gas authorities. Amongst other things it us illegal for those not trained and certified to interfere with gas supplies. Which you can only check (if it should be live) by breaking the law!
