Sydenham Town Forum

I thought I got that page because I'm using a proxy server.

We've had HD since before digital switchover on Freeview.

What happened last week was the second stage of channel number changes where HD channels moved from the 50s to 100-104 and the 'Babestation' type ones moved to 170+

The initial proposal was for a new constituency splitting Lewisham West and Penge between Beckenham to the south and a new seat covering Forest Hill and Sydenham with wards in Dulwich. The new proposals are for a new Lewisham South seat covering Forest Hill, Sydenham (LB Lewisham area only), Lower S...

The 194, 197 and 450 also ran through Sydenham at points during the day.

Some of my fellow Dulwich'ites are choking on their lattes at the fact that Jim could be our joint local MP replacing north London Tessa.

All sorted now.

Southern still provide the data and station announcements for London Overground stations south of New Cross Gate as part of a contract. Best to complain to London Overground, who may instruct Southern to abbreviate Islington like on the boards from Surrey Quays up to H&I to bring the 2nd and 3rd...

Glad to see the article in the OP link refer to 'Cobb's Corner' as opposed to 'Kirkdale Corner' as announced on buses' PA systems now. The buses don't even mention any reference to the corner, the bus stops at Cobbs are now called the generic "Sydenham Station - Kirkdale" on the 122, 176 ...

The Jubilee seems to be getting worse with every week. First day back at work in January and it wasn't working, 2nd week back on a Monday Canada Water was closed for "overcrowding" and today I finally managed to get on a train on a Monday, but with severe delays and being crammed in like a...

Crossrail should relieve the pressure off the Jubilee for passengers going west at least. I'll probably use the ELL to Whitechapel and then Crossrail to Bond Street to go to Oxford St for example.

In addition there are two extra trains leaving New Cross Gate for London Bridge during the Mon-Sat off-peak, so you may be able to use the Overground to connect with those services if you miss our stopping services. In addition, there is a later Overground service for New Cross Gate which connects w...

Is there a chance the transport debate from Tuesday can be added to the station's listen again feature please?

If you win this FM licence, will you also cover surrounding areas such as Penge, Crystal Palace, Dulwich, Forest Hill and Bellingham?

I can't see why the Money Shop won't get approval, there are numerous similar businesses across the borough despite their dubious ways of making money.

It's bad enough Lewisham has Brighthouse where low income familes can buy goods at inflated APR.

The Money Shop normally set up in areas of low income where they offer loan services such as cashing cheques and emergency loans.

The Credit Union is a much better way of obtaining a loan if you happen to be in low-paid work or benefits.

I thought Oyster has been available since January?

The self service machines have been since late January (3 weeks after PAYG was accepted at the stations), but not the ticket office.

FH has finally been Oyster enabled at the ticket office, is this now the case for Sydenham?

The TfL/National Rail charges are confusing, but simplistic depending on where you travel to. ELL/Southern to East Croydon or Sutton - NR Oyster fare applies. ELL or Southern to New Cross Gate or Norwood Junction/Crystal Palace/West Croydon - TfL rate applies. ELL/Underground - TfL rate applies. Sou...

I was told by LUL staff that it was a problem with the equipment on the Overground system. What I forgot to mention, is that my Oyster is a monthly season ticket, so it shouldnt be charged at all! I came in all the way by Overground/Underground this morning, and there was no charge or problem. When...

What I don't understand is: - Zone 1-3 off peak rail journey is £1.70 - Zone 1-3 off peak Overground journey is £130 So it should be more expensive to go from Sydenham to West Croydon by rail but if you touch in and out using an Oyster card how do they know? Presumably they just charge you the Over...
