Spartacus

It strikes me that a better solution would be to place the cycle lane in the green, making it a more enjoyable experience then cycling up a road, and completely segregating it from buses thus increasing safety for all. Granted a small amount of the green space will be sacrificed but it does reduce conflict between cyclists and buses using the same space and possibly a more enjoyable cycling experience. But I guess that's too radical for the council

Ohhh go for option 1, just take a few burly mates along to help encourage them finish quicker

I did, and now it's saying it will be back

Do you know where I can find John Connor ?

It does raise a good general question on why any public realm works seem to take so long. If a company like Conway was being paid directly by us, we would be demanding a quick and efficient service, but being contracted by the council seems to extend delivery times. Look at how long it took to do the works on Dulwich Square as an example. Should we not be getting better value out of our public realm projects ?

Sigh, nibble nibble till they get it all.

Can you post a copy of the note ?

Soylent was that whwn thw upland tavern was the place to go for a friday night fight ?

Comedy often parades real life 😅

It would have terminated in Peckham not Camberwell and was blocked by vocal locals both along the route and locally who didn't want a tram depot in Peckham (despite the good ot would bring) Such a shame it didn't happen

There was that risk with trams, bit trolly buses didn't need tracks. As in all things, there has to be some self responsibility not to cycle along the tracks this avoiding the risk of getting captured. As the old saying goes, size doesn't matter Frankfurt for example has an extensive tram network and it's about half the size of london but just as busy

Strange title I grant you but just came across this article talking about the extensive network of electric trolly buses which replaced the older network of electric trams https://metro.co.uk/2025/02/12/map-reveals-forgotten-london-trolleybus-network-big-tube-22538149/ Strikes me that we were better off, pollution wise, with the old network of electric vehicles and only now are we returning to electric buses. Don't you just wish that the trams or trolly buses were kept and diesel buses were never introduced? Now it's too late as setting up a tram network is far too expensive compared to the relative cost if they maintained what they had.

If the report on the library consultation is correct, with residents showing anger, then you have to question if their views were taken into consideration or dismissed as an angry mob 🤔

One question that needs to be understood about both sections that proposals for changes for buses, is "are there currently problems that cause major delays alreay?" Granted buses can be slow going north towards Rye Lane however often it is caused by either other buses at the Nigel Riad bus stop or the junction with Heaton Road which causes tail backs. The north side of Peckham Rye (proposed bus gate beyween Scylla Road and Nunhead Lane ) never strikes me as a busy section but I don't traverse it often. However it does look like they are rerouting the 342, p12 and 78 northbound along it, removing their stop at the corner of East Dulwich Riad and Peckham Rye (a good spot for changing from a 37, 12, 197, 63 and 363 to the other buses, now forcing the change at the Nigel Road stop) I guess the current flow patterns need to be understood o make sense of this prooposal and questions raised over passenger preferences on buses as well.

Yes, the barry Road side of Peckham Rye, where if you want to go to Nunhead there is no right turn towards Nunhead Lane

The biggest impact will be the current lack of ability to turn right from Peckham Rye to Nunhead Lane. The current run od traffic from Forest Hill road direction is either enter the gyratory, and either go along Peckham Rye East side to turm left into Nunhead lane or go into Copeland Road. Putting a timed bus gate in the section before Nigel Road and the buses only on the East side will then necessitate either allowing right turns at the corner of Peckham Rye into Nunhead Lane or as the OP pointed out, traffic will divert down via goose green roundabout to either go up to Nunhead or via Dog Kennel Hill to get to North of Peckham. The unintended impact could be more congestion and pollution in Rast Dulwich as a result.

Are we keeping you up with worry that finally the council will be held to account ?

You seem to have a lot of "personal" knowledge here Mal. Hope your priest doesn't get easily embarrassed during confession 🤣

If you feel that the LTN was introduced correctly, is valid and has local support, then you have nothing to fear from closer scrutiny and publicity. But your cry, "5 years after it's happened" dismisses 5 years of concern by residents and makes you sound like you fear additional scrutiny.

Good to see that Richard, from One Dulwich, isn't afraid to provide his name. LTNs need community support and not just council officials telling communities what they want, after all we elect them and indirectly pay their wages so why shouldn't they listen to their electorate?

Surely it has to be "the knocking shop" (1860s slang) as it is the oldest profession around 😅 It always surprised me that one used to operate on Bawdale Road, just around the corner from the old police station (so I've been told 🤭)

My suggestion is try it, if it can't find a restore point, no harm done, if it does then your decision on continuing and pressing finish but to be honest you have little to lose especially as you have successful backed up.the data 😉

Did you sort it or return it to John Lewis in the end ?

I'm confused, are Dulwich roads implying that the cyclist in the picture was moving at over 20mph and damaged the concrete block ? Oh my !

You should be able to do it in safe mode In the windows search bbox at the bottom of the page type control panel Open the Control Panel Select Recovery Select Open System Restore Select the restore point to use from the list Select Next Select Finish Windows will restart automatically
