Weirdly, neither have in station shops or caffe’s or newsagents. The journeys can be pretty tough these days and having concessions could improve people’s journey. Neither are that friendly. East Dulwich the platforms are really low compared to the train doors. The platforms aren’t well covered to keep passengers dry.
Would a concession selling coffee and snacks on the platforms facing into London make your journey a little more bearable?
Should we get the platforms raised at East Dulwich and more platform covered from the elements?
(Between all the above listed stations they now see 22 million people enter and leave shooting up 12.5% in just one year)
