"Lift Up LJ" is a new campaign focused on making Loughborough Junction station safe, accessible & fit for the 21st century: www.ljstation.com

No accessibility improvements have been made in the 100 years since the current station opened. I've written about the station's birthday in previous posts.

As of this week, Loughborough Junction station (as we currently know it) is 100 years old. Lots more detail here: colin-m.com/lj4d/loughbo...

My second time making the front cover of the Herne Hill Magazine with a photo of Loughborough Junction. The magazine is published by the @hernehillsociety.bsky.social.

The article is a version of this -

If you can see the top of the Higgs tower... it can see you. Last week I took some photos from up there - see here:

The infamous Bengeworth Transformer, still sitting in Coldharbour Lane. Road signs now imply it could be there until this weekend.

1/ As of 5pm today (Tuesday) the 2nd of the two new "super transformers" to be delivered to the Bengeworth Rd substation site is still blocking Coldharbour Lane...

I wonder what the reason for that is. You can see it in this 1966 aerial photo too. Something to do with land ownership perhaps...does/did that strip belong to the White Horse or something?

2/ Here is some detail on those contributions, from the planning report. That they have been included is no doubt partly thanks to work by LJAG in pushing for improvements.

1/ The Hardess/Wellfit street development was granted planning permission last week. The conditions include some financial contributions to improving Loughborough Junction station.
