Re: Bakerloo Line Extension

You wont lose the Hayes line. The tube will run on the same tracks (making the extension easier than other options), and be more frequent. I am unsure where it would be diverted? The Hayes line is already at full capacity so adding some Bakerloo trains means losing some of the current services. The...

Outdated it may be. When the newer technology fails (which it will in time) it remains a backup.
Maybe pigeon lofts would be a better alternative

Dacres Road / Silverdale Urban Renewal Plan

I've been wondering recently whether our local civic societies have any plans here

This is a derelict relic of a largely outdated technology. Can we plan to get rid of it, before it becomes an icon?

Re: Current state of the property market in Sydenham

Not sure if helpful to anyone here but seeing this I thought was quite timely so thought would chuck it on here. Make of the article what you will but SE26 is reportedly one of the area’s “bucking the trend” and is still “hot” in comparison to the vast majority of London (although not mentioned in ...

Re: Current state of the property market in Sydenham

I put my house on the market. The estate agent was so careless they damaged my prospects of a sale. They are an estate agent well known in Sydenham which claims a level of success I cannot substantiate. My four bedroom above average sized Victorian semi was described, by them, as a three bedroom te...

Re: Stu's Supposition

The longer any conservation (offline and well as online) in this country continues the probability of involving Brexit approaches 1. In fairness this is true for any subject.

For reasons which had absolutely nothing to do with thinking of selling, I just looked at a chart from Streetcheck.co.uk for a post code in SE26

That means managing supply and demand. The most obvious way is through the availability of mortgages.

Re: Current state of the property market in Sydenham

Brexit will be a massive success for young working people if it causes a correction in house prices and makes London affordable for them. Who do you think will be the most likely to go into negative equity: a) Young homeowners b) Middle-aged homeowners c) Old (mostly mortgage free) homeowners Stuar...

Before this gets shunted into the Town Pub, I'll just say I think SE London is better value than other parts, but that won't be much consolation.

Re: Current state of the property market in Sydenham

Brexit is not an issue. Project fear is the problem. The disgraceful misconduct of the political appointee at the Bank of England is a large component of project fear.

Re: Current state of the property market in Sydenham

In the short term, the rent / buy decision is pretty well all about Brexit. There are those who insist a No Deal will be just fine, but it's probably not prudent to do so. The downside, which would come from London being a much less attractive place to live is huge. I don't think it's anything like ...

That's horse manure, Robin, and it doesn't stay in the green bin - just a useful way of moving it to my own front garden

A more useful squats workout

There's a thing about doing a squat workout to this track



the idea that you go down when you hear 'sally down', and hold it until you hear 'sally up'. Bit of a killer.

Here's a maybe more useful work out
