Balham Station Rail Survey

Have Your Say on Local Train Services in Balham


As your local candidates in the May 2026 election for Wandsworth Council, we’re working to listen to residents and take action on the issues that affect your everyday life.


One issue we hear about again and again is public transport – particularly the experience of using local train services. Whether you rely on the train daily, travel occasionally, or avoid it altogether, your views matter.


We’ve put together a short survey to understand how residents feel about local train services – things like reliability, safety, accessibility and cost. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and your responses will help shape our priorities as we push for improvements that make a real difference to our community.

We’re committed to being strong local voices, and that starts by hearing directly from you. Thank you for taking part in this survey – we really appreciate your time and feedback.


Yours sincerely,


Robert Hughes & Luke Mathers
Your local Conservative Action Team
