Purley (Surrey)

I'm currently working in this area, not getting much at all. On 443.475 / 127.3 I'm getting people checking 'The Heath, The Vale, Pitch 11, etc, not sure who. They sound like possibly park wardens, it's hard to define from their chat and I'm new to this area. For the foreseeable future i'll be here for two weeks every month.

Used to live in Purley and there really isn’t very much around there.
The staff at the train station use radios on UK Gen UHF freqs
The FB channels are worth having in your scanner, the fire station is nearby
Depending on how close to Croydon you are you may get some frequencies from there but probably not many. I could get the Croydon shopwatch (or Croydon Safer Radio) as they call it now but I’m not sure if that has now gone encrypted

I'm back in Lancashire, I'm not going back to Purley. I did have a good search but heard very little. I didn't hear any railway staff even though I had my 3500 on close call, but then they could have been on DMR. I could barely pick up FM radio stations where I was, never mind PMR stuff on a scanner. It was all Southern trains I was on from mainly Tadworth to Penge / Croydon.
