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.
17 July (Part 1) - It’s Confuserail
If
you check the notices at Abbey Wood station you will read that there are no more line closures this year.
If you were lucky enough to be at
the last Crossrail Liaison Panel meeting you
will know that there are to be seven this side of Christmas with the next ones
due on 3rd and 17th September - I took a photo of their presentation slide to be
sure. However if you are one of the very fortunate few you will
have received a further notice at the weekend which says that ten extra North Kent line closures are scheduled.
The notice says clearly enough that 5/6th, 12/13th, 19/20th and 26/27th August
will be ”Weekend Possessions”.
Not so clear is that it says there will be a Weekend Possession on 29th and 31st
July. (Your guess is as good as mine.)
Local residents who rejoiced at the prospect of only three more closures before
the new station opens on October 22nd will be sorely disappointed, but not half so much as the shopkeepers
who lose half of their business on rail closure days.
