Just to make people aware of bike thefts from the ED train station bike rack.


My son's bike was stolen from the bike rack at the station today between 3.30pm-7pm.


He asked station staff if they have any CCTVs. They do, but not trained on the bike racks. This seems a bit stupid really, especially as it sounds like it's happening a lot there.

Not sure that's quite fair as the crime stats for the last four months are down year on year, so they must be doing something right. There's one in the library a couple of afternoons a week if you want to talk about anything.


However, the station is a known hotspot and I agree with rahrahrah that they should be able to find footage of someone leaving with the bike (assuming they didn't get on a train with it).

Son said it was bike rack on the outside, near the crossing. Lock was a Raleigh cable lock. It was quite an old bike but he'd done it up with a new saddle and tyres a year or so ago, so some toe-rag obviously took a shine to it.


British Transport Police phoned today to say they need a few bits of info (what son was wearing, time he left bike) and they will look into it. They were very helpful.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
