Rainham Station

[busman]

After what seemed months the repainting of Rainham station was coming to a close. The shelters had been repainted, broken seats not replaced . So as it was raining this morning went to sit under the shelter only to find they have been removed Is this a classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing and waisting money which it appears the can't afford to loose at the moment.

Any one aware if they are to be replaced?

Do we know if they have finished?

Pretty poor job if they have. Most of the lampposts are only half done, some sections of fence have been missed, paint is already flaking off the bollards out the front, the totally worn-out door mat - need I go on?! Plus the Gents toilets was out of action again this morning :-(

Still, having said that, it is not a bad station when all is said and done.

;D Well, looks like they were busy at the weekend. There are two shiny new shelters on the up platform and one on the down.

The look pretty cool and modern as well. I just hope the glass/plastic doesn't get some oik scratching his/her 'tag' in it and spoiling it for the rest of us

Just think of all the money wasted painting the old ones . Doubt it will take longer for the youth who seem to find the shelters a convenient place to spend the night drinking and eating kebabs to damage them
