I think that article is one of the best ever written, and I'm glad many of you find it interesting--thanks also to Steve for adding the wonderful pictures--but there's still one mystery that remains unsolved: The Perry Vale side of Forest Hill Station is on a high embankment, hence one has to walk up the steps to reach the level of the railway line, which continues over Waldram Crescent aided by a bridge; therefore, how could London Road have possibly continued across the railway--via the level crossing, to Perry Vale--with such a big drop from track level to ground level? I know Steve and I have discussed this before on the Sydenham Town Forum without reaching a conclusive answer, so I thought I would bring it up again... Even the Atmospheric Railway pumping house, in the early days, appeared to be on a much lower level to the track.
