indeed happy birthday station manager corner!


i am interested to read that i'm not mad, the train screeching is worse compared to a few years back. i think it got really bad after some major line work in 2007. or around then. as another post commented: oddly some trains are super quiet, so just now this minute one going to LB hardly a noise, one coming into ED screeching on every carriage. but it's not even relative to direction or type/age of train. but you will know this yourself if you live by the tracks.


thanks for looking into this.

Hi there


I was just wondering whether anyone else finds the Garden Centre's razor wire a little bit intimidating when you get off the train at ED? I know you probably don't have much say over what they choose to protect their property with, but could it perhaps be covered up on the station side so that you don't immediately think ED is a scum hole when you step off the train?!


Thanks

I believe the garden centre is due for demolition and new flats and library put on the site. Not sure when this is happening I guess it was delayed due to recession

That's where I live, I don't really notice it though. Maybe because the lounge and bedroom are at the front of the house.


Or maybe because they're drowned out by the in-car subwoofers which seem to be all the rage round here.

I live at the top end of Choumert Road, near Coppleston Road, and the train screeching is very noticeable. I must be a good 300 metres from the track and it's fairly loud sometimes. I think it's when the trains are coming round the bend towards the rear of Chadwick Road and towards the back of Coppleston / Ivanhoe.

To all those who think the noise has got too loud from the screeching trains call Network Rail (08457 114141) and log a complaint. It won't hurt if we at least make a noise about it!!!!!


The noise has got louder, it is a fact - maybe if you have lived here for years and can just turn off you don't notice it.


The only way the people in charge know there is a problem is if we all tell them. I know SM BJones is telling his bosses but if we all call Network Rail as well I am sure we will get a better and sooner result. If not then we go to our local councilor.

Hi


SUCCESS........ After speaking with a colleague he has put me in touch with someone at Network Rail, I have given the contact at NWR the location and this will now be dealt with. Hopefully in the next 7 days the issue will be eradicated.


That was a tough one!


Kind regards

Hi, I was a little concerned by these comments so I decided to go to my office and check the shift sheets which I can access for any ticket office. I can clearly see the staff were on duty and what time they logged off. Whether they were carrying out other duties or having a break at that time I am not sure


We have a comitted obligation to staff these stations and I am confident my staff were on duty last night

Sorry to say that that the Ticket Vending Machine was broken into over the weekend. We are doing all we can to rectify this. The second machine is not due to be comissioned until Wednesday. I am arranging for extra support for tomorrow morning via our Revenue Teams


Tomorrow is the start of a new month so envisage that the ticket office will be extremely busy

      Cat Flap

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x

      Charisma gymnastics - dates & costs

      By TreacleRabbit · Posted

      Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks

      Excellent electrician - Paul Edgley

      By TorW · Posted

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
