I can walk out my door and have possibly the best panoramic view of London in 5 minutes. I wonder if the inhabitants of the estate there appreciate the good views?

Not a nice way to go! I was only about 10-12 I guess, so late 80's / very early 90's.

Jeremy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just looked up Dawson's Heights on t'interweb. For years, I've lived a few hundred metres away, but had never even heard of it.

Keef Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you view it from Horniman's, it's quite an impressive sight, particularly at night.

Jimbo Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The paths up to the platforms at ED station are gross, there is litter and lots of other crap lying all over the place.Just moved to ED so haven't had a chance to pick my fav bit of ED.

Keef Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Those paths are a nightmare!!!!! When you're getting of a train from London Bridge (can't remember the platform number), and coming down that path there are a few steps towards the bottom. I REALLY WISH THEY'D PAINT THE EDGES OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :X Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/209-whats-the-worstbest-bit-of-se22/page/2/#findComment-3528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 The crap-strewn E Dulwich station is my bane too. If I get a name and address to write to and put it here, would you all write a letter telling the train company to sort it out? There are bleached-out cans of Fresca and Tab, I swear!

mockney piers Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 In these wonderful days of noone on the railways being responsible for anything as far as i can tell, the train companies bear always seem to sidestep responsibilty for the state of the stations, but at a pinch I think itlies somewhere between southern trains and network rail.Having just had a look at their websites which should win some sort of obfuscation awards (DAFTAs?) I can offer use these nuggetsNetwork Rail 40 Melton Street London NW1 2EE Tel: 020 7557 8000 Fax: 020 7557 9000 [email protected]rubbish Southern Railways e-formhttp://www.southernrailway.com/contact.phpI've used it in the past and only received automated responses bearing no relation to my question, you have been warned.What is it about wednesdays that make me acerbic?

Mark Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 acerbic (ə-s?r'bĭk) pronunciation also a?cerb (ə-s?rb')adj. 1. Sour or bitter tasting; acid. 2. Sharp or biting, as in character or expression: ?At times, the playwright allows an acerbic tone to pierce through otherwise arid or flowery prose? (Alvin Klein).[From Latin acerbus.]just thought I put that there to save others having to look it up Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/209-whats-the-worstbest-bit-of-se22/page/2/#findComment-3553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I asked at the station and they said keeping the path clean is the responsibility of Railtrack.

mockney piers Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Wow nice sidestep considering railtrack was essentially liquidated almost 5 years ago.This is going to end up being like that task for asterix and obelix to get a permit A-38 from the house that sends you mad!!

SimonM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 An alien spacecraft in central London...may be quite clearly discerned on broghter days when progressing along Underhill Road, with the cemetery on your right. Officially it is just the Telecom Tower perfectly aligned behind the London Eye but TPTB must think we born yesterday to swallow that one...
