I know this whinge is not original but getting out of Sydenham north bound is getting ridiculaous. Does anyone know how long the works on Kirkdale will go on for? And didn't someone dig up this area a few months back.
And also annoyingly there's minor works at lights on Dartmouth Road(at the forest hill end), which has restricted one lane, also the lights being green for only 5 seconds doesn't help either.
Road Works in Kirkdale
I guess this is playing havoc with your commute fat_mike?
Dare I suggest an alternative route?
Follow the diversion so that you end up on the roundabout of Kent House Lane/Kent House Road. From there head toward Penge High St and turn right onto the High St. Go up up up Crystal Palace Park Road [you are back in Sydenham now] and then up Westwood Hill. Turn right at the roundabout at the top and go along Sydenham Hill...
That should bring you to the top of Kirkdale much faster than sitting in the queues on Sydenham Road/Kirkdale.
