What do people think about the new shelters that have been erected on either side of the platforms at ED Station?


Both shelters will definitely offer better protection from the weather, but.....


* Do they have enough seats?

* Are they too cramped?

* Where are the litter bins? It looks like they've been designed so that litter simply blows away - all over the surrounding area!

* What's going to happen to the very serviceable seating that is now stacked up alongside them? Will it be just left to rust away?


Was this money well spent?

I did wonder if anyone else had concerns about the increased potential for rubbish build-up in the wildlife area behind the new platform shelters, arising from the gap at the back.


This morning, waiting for the late running 9.31 to London Bridge, I had plenty of opportunity to observe the stack of undistributed Metro newspapers, dumped in the corner next to the top of the path, being agitated by the wind and threatening to blow through. These and anything else dropped on the floor will be able to make a seamless habitat transition and become lodged amongst the brambles, awaiting archaeological discovery some time in the next century.


Surely some bins wouldn't be too much to expect?

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
