Beware of P13 bus-stops that no longer display the 'bus-stop closed' notice but now display the time-table leading people to think the works are complete. This morning I met about 4/5 people who had been waiting for at least 20 minutes for a P13 that never came, because although the bus-stops are no longer closed, the diversion is still being applied. Is someone at TFL Head Office having a laugh at our expense? Fed up? That's putting it mildly! Perhaps TFL should spend more time running a good service, than 'evening out the service' (What ever that means!!!!)

I am sick & tired of the P13 bus-stops in Underhill Road being repeatably closed, and I?m not the only one, judging by the following message posted on one of these bus stops :?The ***holes have done it again!'. This time it is due to a burst water-main, and I can?t help but wonder if Thames Water damaged this water-main themselves when carrying out the works that closed Underhill Road last week! I also note that TFL no longer put the ?Bus Stop Closed? notice on the flag,so that even disabled and elderly people have to take, what to them, could be a long walk to find out the bus-stop is closed. Is it really worth having a P13 bus route serving Underhill Road nwhen P13 users are constantly persecuted in this way? What the Hell have we done to make Thames Water, TFL etc dislike us so much! Indeed ? is it really worth living in Dulwich?

The so-called works at Whateley Road seem to be complete. But I suppose it will take the 'workers' another 4 weeks to remove the Road Closed notice! So hard luck P13 users, who have been treated very shabbily by The Mayor of London & TFL Why oh Why was the P13 diversion not via Roads like Pellat Rd, Barry Rd, Crystal Palace Rd (to name but a few) instead of closing off ALL Underhill Road - including the old Folks care home in Underhill Rd? I guess TFL either don't care, or they're having a laugh. I don't suppose we can swear on this site. Pity - as I can think of a few choice words I'd like to address to TFL & Mr. Khan! Having said all this, I must compliment the P13 drivers who have done their best to help in trying circumstances over which they have no control.
