Jill, Alan and Hamish received the message below from the council’s Highways & Transportation Officers concerning Network Rail’s recently imposed one-way system at Carshalton Railway Station in the apparently brand new postal county of “Greater London” (sic!).  The new one-way route runs between North Street and West Street parallel with the existing one-way route of nearby Camden Road.

Re: Carshalton Station One Way System

Dear Passenger,

Recent changes to improve accessibility to the ticket office for all of our passengers have meant changes to the layout of the front of Carshalton Station have been made. This has resulted in a restricted road width. In some areas it is no longer possible for two cars to pass each other and on the grounds of safety a one way system has been introduced. The current one way system sees traffic flow from North Street to West Street. A number of passengers/local residents would like to see this reversed and for traffic to flow in the opposite direction. I would be extremely grateful if you could take a moment of your time to indicate which direction you would like to see the traffic flow.

Please indicate which direction you would like to see traffic flow.

□ From North Street to West Street (current).

□ From West Street to North Street.

Type of ticket for your travel today

□ Daily ticket.

□ Season ticket.

Please respond by the 15th October 2012. Once all responses have been collated and a decision made as to which way the traffic will flow, appropriate signage will be installed.

Thank you for your time,

Kristian Tucknott
