Phoebe if you had read the papers the first lady was in her nightie…..i will leave it to you to work it out.As said before lets not forget the drivers and the poor people that have done a days work in London and are left on the train for ages until it gets moving again.Sad as it is there must be other ways people with disturbed minds can end whatever they want to end elsewhere.

The Whitstable Times has not named any of these deaths as suicides. I cant help but wonder, does anyone actually know if these deaths are suicides or accidents? If either one could be determined this would be useful, since it would be unfair to hail the crossing as unsafe if death was intentional. I personally use the crossing nearly every day, and have done for the last 7 years. Obviously I have never had a problem-visibility has not been an issue, even on foggy days.
I have a lot of sympathy for the train drivers, and I do believe that it is important to determine whether these deaths were intentional or not before placing the blame on the crossing.

Comment on Kent’s rail users critical of Southeastern train’s service by Dave Holladay

” Most people buy off-peak fares”? Surely the evidence of trains of greater length crammed to 120+% of seated capacity vs short trains barely 20% filled outside the peak times suggest that most passengers buy peak time fares, with the complication on routes like SE Trains that they have options to pay extra for a ‘high speed’ (sic) service and routes to 4 other London Termini – some even shared withother operators offering different price structures – Examples of this include Southern/Southeastern fares and restrictions Bexhill-London and SW Trains/Southern for Dorking-Waterloo

Comment on No sympathy for disgraced councillor Brice from residents by Tristan Osborne

Great piece. Irrelevent of party affiliation this individual should have stood down as a Councillor. I believe it has damaged the credibility of local democracy in Medway.
