Folk Myths[edit]

where does the rumour about a hidden carriage come from?

I think it confused with a long standing story about an abandoned "atmospeheric"/pneumatic railway in the Crystal Palace grounds. http://www.capsu.org/library/documents/0040.html --Lang rabbie 20:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The story of the entombed commuter train definitely refers to the tunnel between the High Level station and Upper Sydenham station. Virtually anyone who has been to school in Penge or Sydenham in the last 30 years will have heard the story. --Bebofpenge 02:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I grew up in Sydenham and never heard it... :S --Bensonby 21:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC) (the first unsigned comment was made by me also)[reply]

I also grew up in Sydenham, and even walked through the disused tunnels as a kid, and I never heard of this either --Littlst 15:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Years ago I was told this rumour by friends in Sydenham, and have since also seen an article about it in the South London Press.--Robkam (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

This station is called Crystal Palace Upper Norwood on the 1918 Railway Clearing House map on wikimedia commons [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bebofpenge (talk • contribs) 06:07, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to reorganise the History section. There is almost more material about the branch (which is adequately covered in the Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway article) than the station itself. The station building and the preserved subway are of architectural interest in their own right, and deserve more detail. Swiveler (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
