Babaloo,

I have lived on Canonbie for 7 years and often walk from the station alone late at night several times a week (sadly working late and not due to a dazzling social life). I have never been involved or seen any trouble although it can be a bit spooky walking by One Tree Hill. The P12 stops opposite the station and drops you off at the bottom of Canonbie (Forest Hill Road end) and the P4 covers the other end (Honor Oak Road) or if you are feeling flush, Linkway Cars are fantastic and will drive you to your door in no time.
