Network 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!

I boarded the 10.04 from Worthing to… I boarded the 10.04 from Worthing to Victoria today (23rd Oct) and was welcomed with a hugely present surprise. The on board announcer and customer service person Jonathan announcements were great. Joking, informative and wonderfully light hearted. When he came through the train he had a warm smiling personality and really was a breath of fresh air. He deserves huge appreciation and credit for his work.

I wish I could 0 stars I wish I could 0 stars. Despite many complaints about Contractors working for Network Rail at Tulloch Station in Scotland including HGVs blocking access to resident homes, dangerous driving and large amounts of litter being left, nobody ever came back with a solution. Lots of half hearted apologies but the same issues just keep occurring. Now our tarmac access lane is subsiding to due to weight and volume of contractor's vehicles and Network Rail don't care-- that is until one of their vehicles get stuck or damaged!!!!!

We had a situation when my Grandaughter… We had a situation when my Grandaughter caught an incorrect train and ended up at New St Station, Birmingham. She was taken to the ticket office by a wonderful lady who intended to purchase my Grandaughter a ticket and to take her to the correct train. At the ticket office the absolute star named Vinne took control of the situation. He telephoned me to reassure me and even arranged a taxi to get her home safely !! This man is an absolute star!!! Such a helpful man, even calling to make sure that she had arrived home safely. Such kindness from the lady on the train and then Vinne. I am so impressed and grateful, thank you so so much. Excellent!

Network Rail says it has a great mental… Network Rail says it has a great mental health awareness.... wow they pushed me into a breakdown and when I went to management they just went and laughed with colleagues which made it worse and then they get rid of you as they don't know how to deal with it so find any reason to sack instead of really trying to help
