GBLazy & noisey For the second consecutive night these idiots are sat playing games on phones, Diesel engine running for hours sat outside my flat window whilst shouting! 3 hours last night and an hour already today, have complained but still sat playing. Police next, I wonder how much they get paid per hour to do nothing other than keep people awake at 3am?

GBNetwork Rail Tree Felling Network Rail have felled a number of trees alongside the rail embankment in SE12 over the Easter holidays, despite it being nesting season and other animals producing young, such as fox cubs. Neighbours were not informed about the tree felling, only a notice of essential works to secure the embankment. I believe that Network Rail have a commitment to 'managing lineside as an asset, improving communication with nearby communities and leading cultural change within Network Rail around valuing nature and the environment'. According to Network Rail's response to the Varley report, there is 'a suite of template notification letters and leaflets to ensure that lineside neighbours and stakeholders are kept updated both before and after work takes place to manage vegetation on the railway. Examples of best practice communication ... have been produced.' These may well have been 'shared with the route teams [to] set a clear and consistent standard for vegetation management communications' but they certainly haven't been employed here. Not only were there bats, foxes, birds and other wildlife living in and around these trees, but the view from several houses on the street now goes straight through to the depot, which will be to the serious detriment of residents' wellbeing. I can't imagine the mindset that would deem it appropriate to undertake this kind of work without any consultation or at the very least notification of such an extreme step. A number of neighbours have complained to the Network Rail executive, including the Biodiversity Manager and PR Manager, we were informed the trees were either dead or dying, yet photos taken at the time show healthy trees being felled. We have also contacted our local MP and Councillor. Trees are still being felled this week and we are yet to get a satisfactory answer as to how this devasting damage to this rich habitat will be offset. Ironically Lewisham Council are proposing to make this a nature trail. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

GBI am constantly not shocked about them I am constantly not shocked about what I hear of these muppets. They cause us such National embarrassment. This weekend they stop trains running into London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street so they can upgrade the rail. This afternoon they impose massive speed restrictions because “the rails might buckle in the heat?!! It’s TEN DEGREES COOLER than the hottest day last week!!!! They should rename themselves Not Work Fail. Utter rubbish. They need to be sorted out QUICKLY

GBSort the train drivers out who strike All trains cancelled tonight, spoke to a 4 eyed geek at Kjngs Cross who eventually identified himself as a train driver manager, not helpful, In fact uselesss. My advice is train up more drivers and get rid of the disloyal and unreliable ones.
