Sydenham Road at the Railway Bridge

Sydenham's railway services were operated by Connex South Central - the first train operator to lose their franchise for incompetence. The service is dire, seldom on time and with overcrowded short trains.

This is because the trains ordered by Connex required the 'wrong' sort of electricity. National Rail has now taken over the franchise and is promising to upgrade the power supply. We may see the new trains next year. Until then the misery continues...

Meanwhile the little shop that stands guard on the railway bridge is no longer a gift shop - but an outpost of the PropertyWorld rental agency opposite.
