***UPDATED*** All change at Streatham Hill Station

On Sunday I wrote:

“After a blissfully simple fortnight at Streatham Hill station since the bridge linking the new stairs to the ticket office reopened, I understand that from Monday 23rd November everyone is back to the temporary entrance on Drewstead Road.

Apparently, access from the booking hall to the platforms needs to be closed to allow the reconstruction of the ticket office to take place and to allow the installation of a barrier gate line (which as some point in 2010 might actually accept Oyster PAYG!).

We don’t yet have a definite timetable for completion of this work, or the completion of work on the lifts (National Rail’s site still says summer ‘09 for the latter!)

I will be making enquries and will update this site when we know more.”

Well as anyone who has used the station today (Monday 23rd) knows, it is still open, and there are now some new posters announcing that the booking office will close in December, and that there will be a temporary ticket issuing point.

However, the old posters announcing closure in November are also still in place - in some cases only a few feet away from the newer ones!

More information as soon as we get it!
