The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
15 February (Part 3) - Something afoot in Gayton Road. Network Rail gets ready to demolish Abbey Wood station
Crossrail’s
signage is plentiful but not always very informative. For the past week there
have been three new signs sited close to Abbey Wood station apologising for some
unexplained inconvenience. However there are clues…
The south side footbridge ramps have been given extra protection, the second
Site-Eye camera is trained on the station, and the next Sunday line closure is
1st March. One might guess that the station building is not for this world much longer.
I should perhaps have a nostalgic attachment to it but don’t. According to one local website
it was officially opened on the day I moved to Bexley borough in May 1987. I was attracted by
the second lowest level of local taxation in London. Ha!
At the far end of Fendyke Road (the end of the electrified line) there are more developments.
As almost the nearest resident I asked Crossrail what they were doing there but they did not reply.
It looks to be a major installation, the smaller cabin appears to be a
toilet block with both Ladies and Gents entrances.
Crossrail has issued
a new informative leaflet providing a wealth of information including dates.
