Sydenham Town Forum

That was a bit of an unprovoked attack from the Sid-nam People's Army on our satanic ways. Can't we all try to be good Narbors?

There are some exciting new glass information boards about the Sydenham High Street improvements currently 'on display' in the Clyde Vale industrial estate, propped up against a van. Expect to see this near the station soon, however for the moment it reminds me of a similar discussion: “Oh yes, well...

On Tuesday 16th February, BBC London 94.9's Robert Elms will be broadcasting his show live from the foyer at the Horniman Museum between midday and three o'clock. He's inviting anyone with an object/artefact etc that they feel is part of London's history to bring it along to be discussed on the show...

The central section (North of New Cross Gate) is likely to be open before May (probably in April). Our section will not see ELL trains until 23rd May when the Southern timetable is adjusted to allow spaces for the additional trains.

Just 121 days to go! http://timeanddate.com/s/1jcu

BBW, I must have missed the personal attack on me on EDF. Usually I go to SE23.com for personal abuse, although STF is a useful source as well. Personally I would love to see a return of all the exiles from SE23.com, self-imposed or otherwise. I am sure that your choice of words was not meant to be ...

A copy of this thread was handed to Metro Bus managers at yesterday's Lewisham transport liaison committee meeting by the Forest Hill Society Representative. I was not at the meeting but I understand Metro Bus will follow up on the report of this incident. However, this should not be instead of Simo...

Why did ForestHillOnline forum fail? Because there was no demand for a second forum in Forest Hill and the administrators, having set it up purely to compete with SE23.com lacked the motivation to keep it free of spam and out of the 6 frequent posters I suspect that at least 2 were the same person,...

I welcome three very different forums in the area (plus Brockley Central doing things differently again). But for me the key to any forum is not the way it is administered, but the discussion of the local area. SE23.com is good for discussion of trains, swimming pools and religion. STF is perfect fo...

I saw nothing that would be considered racist The best thing I can do is probably to point to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7446274.stm Which is what I assume caused the problem in the original post that 'insulted people based on their ethnicity'. Most of the rest of the rantings of BBW were...

The logic is that in 2015 we will have Thameslink services taking people from Sydenham directly to Blackfriars and St Pancras. From 2012-2015 we will see less trains especially during peak hours, although there are plans to make them longer to counteract this situation. This is much better planned t...

I don't think it should be named after somebody local. It shouuld be more descriptive of the building and the community.
I was thinking of the Best People's Centre.

Horniman won!

News in the latest South London Press on the letter that has been sent to the Minister of Transport, Sadiq Khan. http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/tn/news.cfm?id=41853&headline=Commuters%20bid%20to%20take%20train%20protest%20to%20the%20top With the success of recent Tweet campaigns you may wish...

Trawlerman,
Perhaps we should get the views of others from Pen-gee, Brockoli, or Dull-Itch?

And which is right:
Onor Oak or Honor Hoak?

I've always prounced Sydenham as Syd'nam - is it just me?

Thanks to everybody who stopped by. I really think it made an impression on Southern staff including Chris Burchill, Managing Director of Southern - who was present alongside representatives from Network Rail, and Caroline Pidgeon, chair of the GLA transport committee. Chris Burchill was upset that ...

We are expecting photographers and reporters from the South London Press and Evening Standard tomorrow morning.

Please stop by to Meet the Manager at London Bridge - 07:30am-09:30am in the main concourse close to the escalators to the underground from platforms 8-16.

BBW: It is not just the managers who will be present, we are arranging for politicians and the media to be present as well. In Sydenham people have already had a chance to meet the managers on their own turf thanks to the meeting arranged by the Sydenham Society, but we need to pull together to show...

Next Meet the Manager session with Southern Railway is on Thursday 15th October at London Bridge - 0730-0930 . Please take a few minutes out of your morning commute to speak to the managers from Southern Railway. * Ask them why it is Southern customers that must suffer for the rearranged late evenin...

Tune in to LBC tomorrow morning at 7:45am for the Nick Ferrari and Barry Milton show!
