The gap between the train and the platforms on many south west London trains is so treacherous that I wont travel on my own with my two dcs as they are both under 3 and I need the double buggy.

I don't know how other people do it, but I'm certainly not risking it. In addition, how the hell would I get up the stairs? I don't want to have to rely on the good nature of other people to assist.

just wanted to add a short note, after taking DS (2.4) in to London on a Greater Anglia train yesterday (used to be NX East Anglia!). Brilliant service, can't fault it really. Ticket seller was great, chatting to DS, and gave him a blank ticket to play with, which DS thought was the best toy ever. Lifts to either platform were working (but slow!). Space for pushchairs (Maclaren Triumph) to go down the aisle, and then storage for it at the end of the carriage. Much nicer trains than NXEA had! Very clean too! Staff were all helpful at both ends of the journey, and DS had a whale of a time. Very positive experience.

We came back at the tail end of rush hour though, and it was certainly busier, and I wouldn't want to fight the crowds on my own with a Buggy (we met DH to come home!). It was on the old style of train too, so less space. However, DS seemed to enjoy it, and we managed to fold down the pushchair and hide it under the seat, and then get it back out just as we arrived to our home station.

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. We have done the prize draw and the winner is......
