We’re committed to keep our passengers and colleagues as safe as possible during the current pandemic which is why by February 2021, 40 stations will have been tested for traces of Covid-19 and eventually all 165 stations across our network. The activity is part of Southeastern’s enhanced cleaning regime to protect its staff and provide reassurance to passengers that they can travel with confidence if they need to. Approximately £400,000 has been invested by Southeastern in extra cleaning measures. At each location, a specialist contractor takes swab tests from high touch areas which are then analysed in a laboratory. About 80% of the swabs are taken from public areas such as ticket hall entrance doors and arm rests on benches, with the remaining 20% taken from internal staff areas such as kitchens and door handles. David Wornham, Passenger Services Director for Southeastern, said: “It is absolutely imperative that we “ It is absolutely are doing all we can to provide a safe imperative that we environment on our trains and at our stations for those still needing to travel. are doing all we can “It is great to see more negative to provide a safe test results from our stations and is testament to the work of our cleaning environment on our team who are regularly going trains and at our above and beyond to ensure our stations for those still passengers feel comfortable and confident travelling.” needing to travel” Autumn/Winter 2020 3 News Committed to improving our service for you OUR PEOPLE More British Transport Police officers: ovia – a subsidiary of We’ll work with the British Transport Police the Go Ahead Group to employ six additional full-time police (65%) and Keolis officers across the Southeastern network to (35%) – is in the middle help keep our passengers safe. of its Direct Award GContract to continue operating the New staff at our Dover depot: We’ll Southeastern franchise.

  • NEWSLETTER No. 48 July 2021 Protecting Wadhurst’S History for Future Generations
    WADHURST HISTORY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER No. 48 July 2021 Protecting Wadhurst’s history for future generations. As Covid restrictions have not entirely left us, it is beginning to seem that nothing is ever going to change, or, if it does, it may never go back to where it was before. This old photograph looking up the High Street proves that latter point. When you study it, look at the trees on the left : this is where the forecourt of the Commemoration Hall now welcomes us; pavement on only one side but what other features can you still recognise though not perhaps exactly as they are today? As we often find in the Centre, it can be so interesting, to spend time perusing pictures and documents and seeing what is visible even now. This image shows a Wadhurst which looks very peaceful and tranquil and no two ladies today would dare to stand where these two are! What a striking contrast to the High Street of today! As a result of having time to look around properly during lockdown, this bright idea might appeal to you as a means of making sure we know what used to be there and how it has altered. Herewith an appeal to you. When you notice/learn that a shop is about to change ownership, that a development is being planned, that a house or fields are going to disappear, please could you take some photographs BEFORE any changes are made and then take more DURING and AFTER the project (ideally taken from the same spot) so that we are able to have a verifiable record of Wadhurst and its environs as it was and as it becomes.
