I think you're right about those... but just to be clear, there are some stump things at East Dulwich station, on the ramp to the London Bridge platform!! Just not sure I see the point if they do put them in - they'll doubtless break and stop people getting on their train in the morning. Or maybe they are for Oyster card readers?

Okay, so your other half has been shagging the neighbour; it doesn't stop you reading properly.


I laughed at this. I am a bad person...


I hope they do put in gates on that side - stop me wandering onto the trains on the day my pass expires and/or I leave it at home.


But I doubt they'll stick in gates. I believe that gates have to be manned and that's never gonna happen. More likely Oyster readers for prepay - when it is introduced.

We got gates at Forest Hill recently which are manned, staff who weren't there before. They do go home at 8ish though and just leave them open. The a bit later the ticket hall's shut completely and they just leave the side gate open.

You still can't buy an Oyster Card there though..

Gotta say I think barriers are a good thing - an extra 30 seconds each day at p.rye station would be favourable to the once-a-week 10min queue when the inspectors descend and huge groups of morons try to argue their way past with clever "oyster at home" based ploys.

Sydenham had teething problems in the first couple of weeks, I think to do with the programming of the barriers, and the bottle necking effect.


However, people seem used to them now, and traffic seems to flow quite nicely through them. Basically, people who have big problems with barriers going up tend to be people who are not buying tickets.

I don't have an issue with a barrier going up, although I do hope they think carefully about putting one up that will still allow people in wheelchairs and people with baby buggies to get through - those steps are already a bit tricky even for a buggy and the slope must be a killer for a wheelchair user.


The only time I get caught without a ticket is when I've been dozy and forgotten to renew my pass, so the barrier would actively help me there!

      Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon

      free for Southwark residents

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk

      Thames Water - water meters

      By EDmummy101 · Posted

      I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
