Your best friends won't tell you...

Dear Dalston Kingsland Station,

There's no easy way of putting this, so I won't beat around the bush. You smell. It's not just me, all of the other passengers have noticed it too. In fact, some of them (not me, I wouldn't be that rude) have started calling you the smelly station. It's not fair on all of the other stations that make a real effort not to smell (apart from the odd whiff of pee - you know who you are). And you'll be giving some of the passengers the wrong idea.

It's probably not your fault, I know. It's probably some broken drain somewhere that Hackney Council hasn't got around to fixing yet. But we really thought we ought to tell you. We've been hoping that it was just a one-off or that you'd realise yourself and do something about it. But it's been getting worse and worse, and with the recent hot weather it's become something of a trial to be stuck at a signal just east of you and downwind of what is, to be frank, a real reek of raw sewage.

We thought about trying to be a bit subtle about it - you know, putting loads of deodorant adverts up on the platform or all holding our noses when the train comes in, but we decided to take the direct courageous approach and tell you that you reek outright. Which is why we're pushing this anonymous message under the door and running away giggling

Signed

A friend.

You *may* want to find out its Birth Date and send a tube full of Air Freshners. No? :P
