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.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
