Having just tested this new policy I found out that the staff at Forest Hill believe that the gate on Perry Vale will be closed between 10am and 3pm. I am seeking clarification on this matter from Southern Railway. We are used to lies from the railway companies to passengers (such as the timetable), but it is completely unacceptable for them to be misleading the mayor of Lewisham.
Hopefully we will get this gate open 24 hours a day as quickly as possible.
