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

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
