Any school is better than no school and if the site wasnt a school , it would have been flats which would have caused even more outrage... Lets give the school some local support and lets see what they can do. Lets hope we are pleasantly surprised. Its a done deal now - lets get on with it.

Thats how the Irish shop survives! It obviously sells a whole year of green shamrocks and leprechaun hats in one bash!

Where is the white horse? Never heard of it? Is it in ED, or an area masquerading as ED Borders?

I think ?3.50 a pint is about right? I can't think of anywhere other than grotpubs where it is much cheaper. I believe that future for pure 'drinking' pubs is not so great. If you want to attract families, couples or groups, you need variance. I am willing to pay a few quid move over a night out to sit in pleasant surroundings that have been cared for. Sounds like this guy has a plan to try and turn the CPT into a more interesting place with wider appeal. In order to attract people up from the lane they need to offer something different. Good on him. I shall swing by this week and sup a few.

Time to start lobbying M&S??

Does anyone know what is going to be in the 4 units currently empty nr. the plough?

Hi D - If the overwhelming response is negative, maybe it is because the majority of users don't agree with the choices made. If a perceived mistake has been made, people will not thank you for taking the initiative. Of course good work has been done and you can never please everybody, but don't take it so personally. Working on public projects always has a thankless aspect! Take it on the chin old girl. ;-)

Its got to be the junction of Lordship / Northcross rd?? The palmerston would do nicely too.

This is great news - hopefully the combined pestering from both sides of the hill will encourage them to extend it. More emails pls people!!

Jenny takes part in the open house program - I think coming up soon. Find out when it is then you can nose round properly!

If we keep on at them it might be enough to get them to notice us and trial the route extension... Pls keep emailing them.!

I once chased some kids doing something similar in Clapham. They ran for their lives. In fairness, so would most people if being chased by a 15 stone guy only wearing pants, effing and blinding. The walk home was one of shame I hope not to repeat....

The 63 just needs to be extended by 750 mtrs to go to the Brockley rise junction. The 363 would indeed be a detour.

Darwinism. Need I say more? >:D<

Pls see below reply from TFL. If we all put our point across now, hopefully we can get this changed. Pls all email: [email protected] Routes 63/363 Thank you for your recent email on the abovementioned routes. I fully understand why you would like the routing you have mentioned and the possible benefits it would bring to yourself and fellow users. We continually monitor the bus network to see if any changes can be made to improve the level of service offered to passengers. The suggestions we receive from passengers are an important part of this process. Please be assured that we make every effort to connect local centres and residential areas - and to respond positively to requests for direct connections. But it is not always possible to provide a direct link for every journey or implement all of the suggestions we receive. Ultimately, we have to make sure that we use the resources available to provide services that will benefit the majority of passengers using a route. Currently we have no plans to extend or re-route either routes 63 or 363. However, both routes are due to be reviewed very soon, and your suggestions have been noted. Please be assured that where possible, we will always strive to improve the network. Thank you once again for taking the time to contact us and if I can be of any further help please feel free to get in touch.

I hear William Rose are doing some specials this week to mark this important event...

Thanks Jah, Fine for me - but not my pregnant missus. She gets out of puff very quickly. Also, if i was going to walk to LL I would justtake a bus to Forest hill or Denmark hill. I just would like to see the 363 route extended 400 metres up forest hill road.... it would just help link up more areas to HOP. MP - Touche!

otherwise known as a fob-off. The 363 would be a better extention as it stops so close.... I'll try again..

ok prophets etc was bit harsh..! anyway - the more ED ers who use HOP the better in my book. It is fine for those who fancy the stomp, but those with child / children have no chance...

Ha Ha! Yes, those famous mountainous ice covered peaks of south London..! He was taking the mickey! Good on you all for supporting this - However, to sean, who along with Snorky is the prophet of doom in every circumstance... Having an unused train station - or even underutilized is not a good idea as it simply adds pressure to other routes, and investment in the underused one falls away.

I live up at the Over / Underhill end of East Dulwich. We seem to have some very poor links to the train stations. There isn't a ED bus link to Honor Oak Park, which is a great station, not very crowded with a fast and reliable line into London Bridge and Charing X direct (on occasion). From Honor oak Park, there are busses to Nunhead, Brockley, Forest Hill, West Dulwich etc but all skirt around us. As this station is going to be part of the East London line extension, I think it would be wise to apply some pressure to TFL to get them to extend the 363 and 63 up to Honor oak park so we all have some more options. Currently the 363 and 63 stop about 600 metres away on the other side of the hill - which seems very strange to me. Please can everyone go to the following page and send an email to apply some pressure to help improve our links and also relieve some pressure on ED station! TFL Thanks!

lynch mob?

Ken said himself that political leaders should be limited to 2 terms in office. I have done the honorable thing and not voted for him this time as he keeps going back on his word - or riding roughshod over what people actually ask for (congestion zone extension - no-one wanted it, total waste of time / money, consultation exercise advised against it, he did it anyway). Sorry Ken - your officially a crony now - and have become the person you so despised 8 years ago and the reason people voted for you in the first place. Boris is also a total dickhead, and even worse - a tory..

I dont know - the Herne is pretty good value for a night out at the weekend or even for a lazy saturday / sunday afternoon. A nice bunch running it, good food and good beer. Its my pub of chouce bya country mile (noted there are way to many kids in the summer etc etc).
