Is there any prospect of a service being provided? - When will stops be installed at the agreed locations on route 273? - Can we have an update on the plan to develop a ‘transport interchange’ at the front of Hither Green Staion (Staplehurst Road side) - A number of people have asked me whether the closed-off ramps at Hither Green Station can be brought back into use. These would allow step-free access from platforms 2, 3 and 6. This would be particularly helpful to those with buggies and prams and would also relieve congestion over the bridge from platform 6 to platform 5 in the evening peak. - Will Southeastern introduce more ticket machines (or ticket selling staff) at Lee Station to cut queues at peak times? - Residents have asked whether indicator boards could be installed at the bottom of the ramp leading to Hither Green Station and at the bottom of the hill at Lee Station. This would be particularly useful when there are cancellations or delays – meaning passengers can make alternative travel arrangements or choose how to spend the time delay. - Will Southeastern be installing rain covers over the bike racks outside Hither Green as per those at Lee? These are the questions I ended up with – will post the answers on this site when I get them (9th December or there-abouts):
