STATION IMPROVEMENTS
HERNE HILL STATION GOES ACCESSIBLE
Under Network Rail's £350million programme to make strategic stations accessible, work has begun and this week saw the installation of a special ticket window to make it easy for someone in a wheelchair to purchase a ticket. Work has already started on the installation of two lifts., which will make a world of difference
for everyone.
We are fortunate to be in the programme and also in the early phase.
10 London suburban stations are being improved of which three are in Lambeth.
This follows investment from the GLA upgrading the security cameras at Herne Hill and some other stations.
The old system of video film has been replaced with live transmission
to a staffed monitoring unit. allowing police to be summoned at the time of an incident.
