31 Mar 2025
With phone thefts frequently in the news and London numbers measured in the tens of thousands pa, you may well be careful and feel prepared should the worst happen to yours. I did, until recently. My son is 25, smart[…]

A couple of incidents this week gives the opportunity to pass on police advice to a wider audience. “Nottingham Knockers”, door-to-door cold callers typically selling cleaning goods, are encountered a few times per year in my street. The first contact[…]

My earlier message had an incorrect link to information about the Alexandra Palace Station step-free plans. Now corrected in the earlier message. The correct link is https://alexandraparkneighbours.org.uk/forum/update-on-alexandra-palace-station-refurbishment . Thanks for Bill for pointing this out.

I asked Dave Cockle from the Enfield Society, who's something of an expert on public transport in the borough, if he had any news. He didn't, though he thinks that the station will be made step-free eventually. He did think[…]

It is extraordinary how far they got with the planning before realising it wasn't possible. It is the same situation with Winchmore Hill Station and several more stations further up the line but they haven't wasted any resources on proposals[…]

Thanks for this response – albeit, disappointing news. Based on my experience of asking receiving information from Network Rail (or, e.g., local councils), I think your reading is probably right. They are unlikely to say, simply, we've ditched it.

Look at the history of this. It's not going to happen.

I chased up Network rail earlier this month out of curiosity given the project seems to be the most complex engineering project in history given progress. The update wasn't good news: 'I am sorry I am unable to provide you[…]

Agree, minimum 3 per hour off-peak, ideally back to pre-Covid's 4, and a dream result of the once-claimed objective of 6. Separately, I remain baffled by TfL's refusal to include our train line, and several equivalents, on their transport in[…]

I have been using the line regularly since I moved to the area in 2014 and it is a very useful route. Initially, I was commuting to work most days but since the pandemic have worked from home and use[…]

Thanks, Basil, for this comprehensive and, dare I say, slightly optimistic overview/answer.

Straightforward questions, but no straightforward answers. I'll do my best to introduce Julius and other recent arrivals about the recent troubled history of our trains services, but I'm sure others will have things to add. First, my brief answers to[…]

I think it is interesting that this post doesn't say why we got to this situation of needing the survey in the first place. It is a bit of an 'elephant in the room' and understand fully why this has[…]

Books in Turkish needed for refugee camp in Greece - please get in touch if you have any to donate

Annabel Gregory

From Ruth Miller:

Hi. Does anyone have any books in Turkish language to give away? I run a multilingual library in a refugee camp in Greece. We have children's books in Arabic and Farsi but some children learned to read Turkish while living in Turkey before arriving in Greece.

Children's books especially needed.

I'd be happy to accept books for any reading level but especially for younger children. I can pick up from the local area, and will take the books with me when I go back to Greece in a week or so.Thank you very much.
