Surbocharged

They’ve gone!!

What the plonk is this? Popped up on corner park of Maple and Claremont this week. Council’s latest idea to raise money by degrading our green spaces?!

Busy commuter train Waterloo to Surbiton tonight, of course missing half the carriages again, very overcrowded! Surely it’s not that hard to get it right

Huge surge in bike thefts from Surb station … does anyone care? Seems nothing being done

It’ll impact my pocket with another huge rise ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ 📈

Had a near run in with a moped on Sat, worst of all when there are kids playing

47mph and you’re “reported”? I’d have thought the response needs to be far more serious. Let’s hope this behaviour is stopped, immediately.

Always worrying to see – even the more secure bike locks aren’t infallible, but presume this took some time to cut 🔐

Private school run in south London linked to 27% rise in air pollution Campaigners say pollution levels in street in Herne Hill were far higher when private schools were open

Come and do the same in Surbiton. I guarantee the results around the Maple / Surb Hill junction will be considerably higher than 27% on account of the daily descent of a school drop SUV army.

So pleased they’ve been caught. Maybe they’ll learn. Or maybe they won’t. Good work!

Indeed, the motivation is probably no longer there

Is anyone going to switch off the Surbiton Christmas tree?

Any sign of the Arterio trains coming to Surbs on a regular basis? Fed up with the crumby old trains now.

See you there!

Only a few hours left to object to the destruction of an important part of #cycling infrastructure in #Kingston

Please read @kingstoncycling.bsky.social ‘s piece on why it is important to keep it. Not just for convenience but also for #RoadSafety

Saw posters for this when browsing the tent the other day. Seems short sighted given it draws so many people especially at weekends. Presume this is separate to the market? Is the church allowing that to stay next year?

Roadworks on Surbiton Hill Road are now complete and junction with Maple Road is now open again. 3 months!

Amazing, congratulations and thanks for everything you do for cycling!

Surbiton’s Christmas tree has been up for a few days and was looking smart in this morning’s cold sunshine
