Surbiton ended Old Georgians’ three-year stronghold in English men’s domestic hockey while Reading women won their first trophy since 2013 in the Premier Division Finals on Sunday
Old Georgians had last lost a league game in September 2023 when Surbiton’s Struan Walker scored the winner
Walker scored a 42nd minute goal which also proved the clincher as Surbiton finally ended OGs’ impressive run to prevail 2-1 at Nottingham Hockey Centre
In George Pinner’s final league game – he wheeled off his kit bag to a guard of honour – it was Surbiton who opened the scoring via the impressive Jacob Payton before Tom Carson’s delicious lob over James Mazarelo levelled matters
Watch: Tom Carson nets superb lob leveller
pacey final was then ultimately won after a fine circle aerial and a rebound goal by Walker
one of the rising forces of British hockey
as Surbiton won their first title for five years
“We had every belief we were going to get over the line,” admitted Payton afterwards
Surbiton were aiming for their first men’s and women’s double title triumph since 2020 after both clubs reached the final
But Reading landed the telling blow in the women’s final courtesy of a wonderful
powerful first-half strike by New Zealander Emma Findlay as the Royals
won their first Premier Division title for 12 years and returned to Europe
Findlay controlled an aerial just outside the 23m and unleashed a backhand rocket rising high into the net
Player of the match Lizzie Neal later said they had practiced the outcome at their last training session on Thursday
Reading keeper Nikki Cochrane had a standout game
There were two late yellows for either side
with Reading’s Anna-Rose Gabitass handed one with under 30 seconds remaining
It meant a last-ditch PC for last season’s champions but Giselle Ansley couldn’t find the net and Cochrane saved the day
Neal said: “Our coach Rob [Foxall-Smith] is a bit of a tactical genius
We were full pressing them quite aggressively and wanted to be in their face and be quite relentless
but we had to work together as a team to shift our zone.”

ORR protects the interests of rail and road users
The incident occurred on 9 February 2021 at Surbiton when Tyler Robert Byrne
Byrne was a member of a four-person group of track workers
undertaking inspections at the location while trains were running in both directions
There was no protection and an inadequate warning system in place
which exposed all members of the working party to the risk of being struck by a train in the course of their work
ORR’s investigation identified failings with the planning
monitoring and supervision to ensure the workers were adequately protected while carrying out their maintenance activities on the track
ORR had previously served Network Rail two Improvement Notices in July 2019
preventive and protective measures necessary to safeguard workers on or near the line
and the other concerned the use of technology
While Network Rail had made some improvements to track worker safety arrangements at the time of Mr.Byrne’s accident
its implementation across the organisation lacked urgency and pace. In recent years and subsequent to this incident
there has been a vast reduction in red-zone working
while new technologies have been introduced to reduce the risk of harm
There is however a need for Network Rail and the rest of the rail industry to maintain its commitment to improve safety for track workers
“Our deepest sympathies are with the family
Tyler had a bright future ahead of him – I am sure that he would have gone on to achieve all his hopes and dreams with those who he loved the most
“Our industry’s track workers play a crucial role in delivering a safe railway for passengers and users of the system
often working in challenging and difficult conditions. It’s essential that they are also protected from harm
“In a period when we also remembered those who lost their lives at Margam in 2019
let us keep our focus on reducing the risks faced by our people.”

Network Rail and South West Railways are planning to revamp the indoor waiting rooms at Surbiton station
improving the seating areas and providing automatic opening doors
A planning application submitted to Kingston Council shows that the changes will provide further seating for the public and a standing workstation with charging points
As the station is a Grade II listed building
Network Rail has a limit on what changes it can make
and It confirms that its changes will have a “minimum impact on the building fabric.”
The planning documents show that the two waiting rooms’ current layout
will be replaced with rows of individual seats
along with the new workstation and some artificial plants
A station originally opened in 1838 in Surbiton because the railway was blocked from running a line through Kingston at the time
The station was then resited in either 1840 or 1845 half a mile to the west
The station was completely rebuilt in 1937 and designed by James Robb Scott (designer of Waterloo Station’s Victory Arch) in an art deco style
The station was given a heritage listing in 1983

The Seething Festival was celebrated on 2 March 2025 at St Andrew’s Square in Surbiton
Run as part of Seething Village’s community calendar

Surbiton HC is hosting the KO16 of the Men’s ABN AMRO Euro Hockey League [EHL] from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th October
Styled as “the world’s best club hockey competition”
the EHL represents an incredible opportunity for both hockey stalwarts and sporting enthusiasts to see a raft of Paris Olympians from all over the the world in action
Notable players include former Surbiton star and FIH World Player of the Year nominee Zach Wallace (now representing Dutch side Bloemendaal)
as well as Olympic medallists from the Netherlands
Australia and Belgium and ten GB Olympians
16 teams from 11 countries are competing for places in the last eight (to be held over the Easter weekend in 2025)
English Premier Division powerhouses Surbiton and Wimbledon are in action
and may even face off against one another in a must-win showdown on the final day of the event depending on results
This is the first time the event has been held in London
and the first Men’s EHL in England since 2012
when current SHC Men’s 1s Manager Matt Jones was in the same role at previous hosts East Grinstead: “It’s a landmark achievement for an English club to secure hosting a Euro Hockey League event particularly when you consider how prestigious a competition it is
It’s undoubtedly the top club competition in the world and a key reason why the world’s elite players flock to play for clubs who compete in it
I can vouch for how much of a buzz and an electric atmosphere it creates around the club and the local community that everyone can feed off.”
The EHL competition is typically characterised by plenty of excitement and lots of goals
with club sides setting up to play dynamic
Last season’s competition averaged 5.5 goals a game (144 goals in 26 games) and some of the finishing in previous years has provided genuinely breathtaking examples of skills by the biggest names in the game
fresh from representing Great Britain at the Paris Olympics
is looking forward to an exciting event: “The Surbiton boys can’t wait for EHL weekend to come around
we have been building for a few weeks now and the level in training has been really high
We want to play free flowing and fast hockey which suits the type of players we have in the squad and hopefully brings the crowds in too
The EHL brings some of the best players in the world together - for the venue to be Sugden Road is an unbelievable opportunity for everyone in the local area
The tournament is always a spectacle and this promises to be no different
so I hope as many people as possible will buy tickets
come down and help create an amazing atmosphere.”

was struck by a passenger train on 9th February 2021 at Surbiton and fatally injured
The Office of Rail & Road (ORR) investigated and subsequently prosecuted. Network Rail pleaded guilty to an offence under the Health and Safety at Work etc
It was today fined £3.41m and ordered to pay costs of £43,096.39
This prosecution comes just two weeks after Network Rail was fined £3.75m for safety failings that led to the deaths of two workers on the track at Margam in Wales in July 2019. [See previous report here.]
The Surbiton incident occurred when Tyler Byrne was a member of a four-man crew of track workers undertaking inspections while trains were running in both directions
ORR had previously served Network Rail two improvement notices in July 2019 after the Margam incident
While Network Rail had made some improvements to track worker safety arrangements by the time of the Surbiton fatality
its implementation across the organisation lacked urgency and pace
In recent years and subsequent to this incident
there has been a reduction in red-zone working
there is still a need for Network Rail and the rest of the rail industry to improve safety for track workers
The official ORR report into the Surbiton incident, published in May 2022
the accident happened probably because a patroller
who was carrying out inspections and was also responsible for the group’s safe system of work
had become distracted and lost awareness of his position relative to the line the train approached on
The patrol was being undertaken with protection provided by unassisted lookouts
Although this was the usual practice for these inspections working with unassisted lookouts is the least safe type of system allowed for when working on track and this had not been challenged in the years leading up to the accident
“We found evidence that people at the depot involved were aware of the Margam accident
but they were convinced that their circumstances were different and that the earlier lessons did not apply to them
managers at the depot did not learn from the experience of Margam and continued to allow much work to be carried out under unassisted lookout protection."
HM chief inspector of railways Richard Hines said: “Our deepest sympathies are with the family
often working in challenging and difficult conditions
It’s essential that they are also protected from harm
let us keep our focus on reducing the risks faced by our people.”
Network Rail Southern Region managing director Ellie Burrows said: “The tragic death of our colleague
Our thoughts continue to be with Tyler's loved ones
“We accept today’s judgment and are deeply sorry for what happened
Any life lost on the railway is one too many and since this tragic event we’ve continued to take significant steps to improve safety
“Our track worker safety programme has almost entirely eliminated the need for colleagues working on the railway when trains are running
We have done this by carrying out maintenance work at different times
using alternative technology and we continue to examine our planned work to keep our colleagues safe
“Today’s judgment is a sobering reminder of why safety must remain at the very forefront of our minds
and we will continue to strive to ensure something like this never happens again.”

The Surbiton branch of Lloyd’s Bank will close on 4 March 2025
Customers have the option of doing their banking online or in the Kingston branch
it is for things that couldn’t be done on an app or in a post office.”
Leicester will have to travel to the Kingston branch for in-person support
She said this is impractical during working hours and with the long queues in Lloyds Kingston
said the closure of the Surbiton branch is a shame
Ledner said: “Surbiton was one of the very few places to still have all the banks and now [they are] closing one by one
A lot of people were coming to Surbiton because their local bank had closed and now [they will] have to travel further.”
According to Accord
the Lloyds Banking Group will relocate employees working in the Surbiton branch to other under-resourced branches
The employees that are not relocated have the option to work in online banking or agree to a voluntary redundancy.
A Lloyds spokesperson said: “As many customers now choose to bank through their mobile app or online
visits to our Surbiton branch have fallen over recent years.”
They added: “Customers can continue to manage their money online
or the local Post Office on Victoria Road.”
said that 88% of their customers already use other ways of banking
for elderly customers who rely on in person interactions and financial advice from their local bank
the Surbiton Lloyds closure is worrying.
Leicester said that vulnerable people like her father
want to get things done in person at a bank
She added: “Where will we go for bereavement services
For those challenged with machines and reading that need a person.”
Another resident has decided to close their account with Lloyds Bank after the poor customer service they experienced.
Zinaida Kudrina said: “Lloyds was closed every time I was trying to pop in with any questions anyway
Eventually I closed the account with them.”
The Lloyds Banking Group owns Halifax and the Bank of Scotland
with 33 Halifax branches and 4 Bank of Scotland branches also set to close.
Lloyd’s bank will have 932 branches across the UK
after the closure of 55 branches in 2025.
Other Lloyds locations closing include:
Customers can still access the Lloyds bank online and receive financial advice here.

Residents have expressed anger with Kingston Council after a decision to retain a controversial traffic filter on King Charles Road
It was designed to reduce traffic volumes on the road as part of the council’s wider Low Traffic Neighbourhood project
Councillors voted to retain the filter by a majority of 11 to 2
after two opposing petitions from residents led to a report being commissioned into the effectiveness of the barrier
representing residents campaigning against the filter
said: “The King Charles Road barrier was a poorly conceived and unnecessary measure
The report clearly states that many residential roads in Berrylands are now experiencing much higher traffic volumes as a result of displacement
This is the opposite of the Healthy Streets policy.”
A petition calling for the council to scrap the filter was signed by 2036 residents
who criticised the initiative for not considering knock on effects and claimed up to 500 drivers a day were now diverting through residential streets
The affected roads were listed as Raeburn Avenue
Traffic volumes south of the barrier on King Charles Road have decreased by 78%
However, the data also showed an increase of between 4% and 40% on the surrounding roads
Peter Kent has lived in the Berrylands area for over 30 years
He said: “The barrier increases traffic for the vastly bigger area to the north and east of the 400 metre stretch of road where traffic has been reduced
“The barrier does not reduce car usage; drivers simply take alternative routes.”
The report said that the increase in volumes were within reasonable tolerance levels for local residential roads
It also stated that all but one of the roads were still considered to have low traffic volumes of less than 500 cars per hour
One of the main complaints from residents was that since the filter had been implemented
residential roads were increasingly being used as cut-throughs to avoid traffic
The report said that on four out of five streets examined, cut through trips amounted to less than a quarter of total traffic volume
local resident Chris Thompson said he felt the barrier had made surrounding streets more dangerous
adding: “As a cyclist I no longer deem it safe to ride through our crowded streets full of angry
Some residents were supportive of the filter retention and suggested that it had provided important benefits
requesting that the council keep the filter in place
Elizabeth McGill said the filter had improved the local environment for vulnerable residents
adding: “There are fewer cars in a residential area
cyclists and children are safer and thriving in an environment that supports them.”
Chair of Friends for Fishponds Park
added that there was enormous potential for the traffic-free area that had been created
saying: “I can see it becoming a real community hub for families
A new school is planned to open nearby in September 2025
Whilst the filter was ultimately kept in place
there was similar disagreement amongst councillors as to its overall effectiveness
Councillor James Giles spoke against the retention
suggesting the petition against the filter was the largest submitted to the council in a number of years
and pointing to the increase in traffic in surrounding roads
“It is an issue which has strength of feeling on both sides
when we consider this in the context of the entire neighbourhood
I cannot in all good conscience and faith say this is consistent with our council policies,” he said
Councillor Roger Hayes said that he had lived in the area for over 40 years and that it was noticeably quieter now
adding that the filter was “probably one of the most successful of those that we [the council] have introduced in the borough”
thanked residents for their emails and contributions to the debate

Two police officers were taken to hospital after being exposed to a corrosive substance
I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice
Two teenagers have been charged over a suspected chemical attack at a southwest London train station on Friday
were charged with possession of a corrosive substance in a public place
Police officers spotted two people acting suspiciously at Surbiton train station at around 4:20pm on Friday. As they engaged with the boys, the British Transport Police officers were exposed to the corrosive substance, which is believed to be alkaline.
Two officers were taken to hospital and have since been discharged. Seven others, including two other officers from the Metropolitan Police, were checked at the scene by paramedics.
The incident closed down Surbiton station temporarily on Friday, with South Western Railway trains forced to skip the station.
One 18-year-old traveller who was at the station on Friday, Esme Wright, said: “I did see that there were about seven police cars. There were police blocking the entrances and exits. People everywhere.”
The two teenagers are due to appear at Wimbledon magistrates’ court on 2 December.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the British Transport Police said: “Two boys, aged 16 and 14, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been charged with possession of a corrosive substance in a public place.”
They continued: “Police were at Surbiton railway station at around 4.20pm when they spotted two people acting suspiciously. As officers engaged with the people, they were exposed to a substance believed to be alkaline.
“Two officers were taken to hospital and have since been discharged. Seven other officers, including two officers from the Metropolitan Police were checked at the scene by paramedics.”
