ok I have written to lewisham and asked that the crossing outside of the station be investigated. on the way home this evening I started to cross over towards sainsburys only to have a van fly down the hill past the station at top speed and absolutely make no effort to stop with me on the crossing and another family starting to cross. I actually heard the van starting to slow down but then when the driver realised we were just about out of the way they sped up again.

really frustrating. somebody is going to be hurt. I think perhaps a push button system with a red light is required.

if anybody else has had an incident I think now is a good time to complain.
