Network Rail are incompetent when it… Network Rail are incompetent when it comes to recruiting Project Managers. Why? Because in their tiny minds they don’t understand that there’s a lot of transferable skills especially if you work in civils, water or utilities. The most sensible thing this organisation ever did was to turn down the opportunity to build HS2......very wise decision

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!

More interested in religion than good rail service? Observed Islamic religious messages displayed on the Departures board at Kings Cross station yesterday. Network Rail should be more concerned with providing a good train service instead of promoting or celebrating religion. And BTW over many years I have never seen any Christian or Hindu messages displayed there. Meanwhile, rail service has been deteriorating over the past few years.

I 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

Thank you network rail for waking up… Thank you network rail for waking up the residents of Elm grove and Harrington avenue Hoylake CH47 at 2am until 3am this morning lights shining and banging work on the tracks. Total disregard for the residents who have to get up early for work. Well done, hope you are proud of yourself......
