Last year East Dulwich councillors found the money to go halves on a new covered waiting area – Platform 1 near the rear of trains. This financial year we’ve arrange for £10,000 to make the lighting at the station entrances infinitely better.

Chuffed to see that this all seems to have inspired the train operating company _ Southern Railway – to replace the other waiting areas. Platform 2 looks completed – we had to nag to get the covers taken of  it today but it looks good.

The new Platform 1 is just at the removal of the old covered waiting area stage. We’ll find out when it all due to finish.

We’ve also highlighted that the smaller covered area we helped make happen is leaking in two places!

While trying to get things sorted we’ve reported a number of other issues – flat screen at the bottom of ramp to platform 1 isn’t working, graffiti , dot matrix clock not working.

If you spot anything wrong do let us know and we’ll get it fixed. Also, if you have ideas to make the station better tell us and we’ll see if we can work some magic!
