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?

GBPart 2 sex and drugs How can one individual get the top job at Network Rail, went off work sick for six months on full pay, but staff were told that this individual was seconded to another region. The reason was he was caught by his ex partner cheating with his P.A. you really could not make this up, the womaniser has had the backing from his seniors to take public sector taxpayers money while he sat a home pretending to be seconded at another depot.

GBHorrible Big Bush Complained many times to Network Rail about overgrown vegetation climbing and penetrating our bordering wall. Cracks are appearing but still Network Rail ignore this problem. From their TrustPilot rating it looks like this review won't make any difference. Let's hope the wall doesn't fall down onto the track. Concern from Woodside, Aberdeen.

GBI 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!!!!!

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!
