Hi


I have 3 year old twins and we need to use West Dulwich station each morning. It is pretty death defying trying to ge both of them off with the huge gap between the train and platform and lots of commuters wanting to get on.


I was just wondering if others using this station find the same problem or am I using the wrong part of the platform.


I would like to avoid using the car instead but at the moment using WD station is pretty stressful every morning.


Thanks

No, its grim - could you use Sydenham Hill instead (depending where you are travelling to) - much less stressful/fewer people/no gap, although its step access?


Herne Hill is always packed and getting on a train is a nightmare, let alone with kids.

cool I will check out Sydenham Hill. its crazy given there is a school less than 100 yards from the station that it is so dangerous. If it was just one child I could manage or a wee one and and older one but trying to get both girls off the train with their bags is a massive stress. I live in fear one of them slipping or some how getting left with the rest of the commuters into Victoria!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
