Sydenham Town Forum

I know people shouldn't jumb to conclusions but, there may be times when the people hanging around could indeed start causing trouble or being loud which can be a problem which i have seen on the news or tv a fews times residents making a stand against groups hanging around would in turn cause them ...

Having the platform 1 gate open isn't going to solved the chaos and congestion over at platform 2.

The whole point of yesterday evening was to yes get that gate re-opened AND solve the problem of chaos and congestion over at platform 1.

The way people were coming (just my opinion) across at that ...

But Patch you surely aren't suggesting that the majority of passengers using Sydenham station don't want easy and direct access to and from both platforms are you?

I doubt whether any more than a small handfull would reject the notion of wider gates at or near the ticket office and a properly ...

one very important point is that the with the gate 1 exit shut, it has stop all the riff raff coming through. has any been bother to check crimerate statistics regarding that area of the gate??? surely that is the main objective here, too ensure the safety of the station let alone the commuters who ...

I think I've pointed out on this thread before that people certainly were "fussed" about the gate on the up platform being closed for so many years.

something else came to mind.

what did people do before the gate on platform 1 was ever even opened???

i find it quite odd that all because there are now ticket barriers at sydenham that people have such a problem. i bet before they even open the gate on platform 1 people weren't too fussed about ...

i can confidently say that even if they had or even will implement a ticket office over on platform 1.. people will still not be happy, they'll still moan about something or another.

and yes people will be replying to this post saying that people won't moan or at least won't as much but the how ...

I think the police's level of response is based on the intial reporting of the crime and available resources at the time.


Thats exactly how it works - if there is immediate danger to person or property or if a crime is in progress then police (probably quite a few of them) will be on scene ...

i agree that the barriers are completely stupid being in such a small station , altough as some other people will point out, it stops the freeloaders and most of the freeloaders are the ones who have attitude and cause problems for people who just want a stress free journey home.
