Land creep at Honor Oak Park threatens platform

Wed 17th Mar 2010

Land creep blamed on site cleansing works at land between Camberwell New Cemetery and Honor Oak Park station has been causing damage to the up platform and the passenger shelter. The greater pressure from the earth movement is pushing the wall and railings of the shelter inwards and buckling the platform surface, putting the integrity of the shelter at risk. In addition, the steel pilings placed to retain the railway embankment are starting to lean towards the platform. Railway workers were investigating the dangerous structures this morning and installing temporary relief works ahead of a more permanent resolution of the problem.
