Barry Road closure and buses


Recommended Posts

Thames water are renewing sewer pipes along Barry Road starting tomorrow (2nd September) A letter was sent out to some local residents a few days ago, but this has not been widely publicised.


Barry Road will be closed one way at the junction with Peckham Rye resulting in no through road to Peckham Rye.


This has had little publicity and the effect is that buses (12 and 197) will be on a one way diversion from Dulwich library, along Lordship Lane to the EDT roundabout , up East Dulwich Road and rejoin the route at the stop opposite where the lido was / is proposed . On the return journey they can still traverse the normal route down Barry road to the library.


Traffic diversions will also be in effect but no information has been given to what and where these are.


The road closure will move up towards the junction of Upland Road over a number of months and Thames Water expect the roadworks to take around 5 months


Little warning has been given to residents about the loss of buses one way down Barry Road (this will effect commuters going to Peckham Rye station and school children getting to school as its the start of term this week) and there is no information in which of the side roads diversions will be on thus adding main road traffic (including heavy lorries abd delivery vehicles) to some of them.


I hope the council and councillors are on this and make roads that are used for diversions temporarily one way to facilitate a reduction in potential grid lock, increased fumes and a higher risk of accidents !

The closure of part of Barry Road has been detailed in the Southwark News for the last 3/4 week although not in last Thursdays. The impression I got was that only one side of the carriage way would be open, temp traffic lights? No indication re bus routes etc.


We saw the diversion signs going up yesterday for 12 and 197 - via lordship lane but no other indications.

Once the closure at the junction of the clock house is in place, I don't think so


Will have to see what diversion is put in place to manage that

Even when the road is open, due to the design of the junction, turning right at bottom on Barry Road is problematic. Traveling to Honor Oak I prefer Dunstans Road where the junction is controlled by lights.

Back in July, I had a letter through the door about a drop-in session which was going to occur while i was on holiday to inform residents of the upcoming work.

It referred to Barry Road and Friern Road, with both being rather long roads i didn't really think much of it.

We received a further letter just last week vaguely outlining the details.

It is going to be 5 months of hell for anyone living near the bottom (north) end of Barry Road.

I called Thames Water for more details as i missed the drop in session, asking for what would have been displayed at the session, they were unable to provide it and the chap said "a little clue for the future, anytime there is a drop-in session it is going to be a big job" !!!

It is basically 5 months of various different lane closures on Peckham Rye and Barry Road between the Clockhouse and Upland Road (Barrys Store), working on a 230m section of sewer pipe.


The Northbound end of Barry Road is now closed to traffic.

Right ,well I limped down there with my bad leg and can confirm


Barry Road closed to North/Peckham bound traffic from Tyrell Rd to T junction with Peckham Rye .


No right turn from Barry Rd into Peckham Rye .


Buses still travelling south up Barry Road with the first bus stop outside estate acents not in use .


Works expected to continue until 25 Oct .


I guess that was all too complicated to put on Thames Water website last night .

long line of traffic from Goose Green Roundabout along ED Road - difficulty for traffic going up LL.


I guess I will have to drive hubby to his GP appointment at The Gardens using the back streets as normally he would bus down there as has problems with walking.

To add to the problems...Bus stop opposite Denmark Hill station is closed, road is dug up. People need to either get off at top of champion hill or at Kings. Great..do they plan this on purpose to cause max disruption given schools starting today and many people return back to work?

It will be interesting to see if Champion Hill gets reopened.


Or will they ignore the traffic problems this causes.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
