That stretch of Friern Road is bad for that. I've been overtaken by impatient drivers on that same part of the road.

Considering march46's posting history has been largely pro-cyclist, why am I not surprised there's a pile-on of riduculous threads from the cycling lobby on this forum?
-
Until the cycling groups get their head out of their backsides, they'll continue to act in a manner where they can get away with being as obnioxious with their use of the road and pavements as some motor vehicle drivers are while they continue to have the backing of the council. (Even if Rose is no longer directly responsble)

They've stopped doing the model I use, but this is the up-to-date version of the TP-Link dual band booster. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8881166 -
London Overground ticket machines will sell Boundary Zone 6 tickets to destinations outside London, but you have to be aware that they do them in the first place which is half the problem if you already struggle with using ticket machines. For it to work properly, there needs to be staff who can help passengers who really do struggle with them as you see at London Underground stations most of the time.

Considering the whole premise of this thread is to bash and troll, it should be lounged.

I've got a TP-Link booster that just goes into a plug scoket which I use to get WiFi in the parts of my flat the router doesn't. Works well. -
306 Medical Centre at 306 Lordship Lane is fine as well.

We need Dulwich help 🙏🏼
Bic Basher replied to Christine cooper's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
From what I understand, the launderette has three directors. Two wish to keep the business open while the third wants £200k to sell his share, so because they're in dispute with the third director, they've shut the launderette. The Dulwich one would have more value being in an affulent area, so you can understand why director 3 wants to sell. They have two other launderettes in Nunhead and Brockley Rise which aren't affected. -
And cycle lanes.

Boundary Commission constituency boundary reform 2023

The Commons Library has produced a user friendly interactive map that shows clearly how the new constituencies are mapped. Boundary review 2023: Which seats will change in the UK? (parliament.uk) -
All Southwark managed streets are 20mph except for TfL managed roads in the borough, these include Dulwich Common, Lordship Lane east of Melford Road, Old Kent Road, New Kent Road, Camberwell New Road, Camberwell Church Street, Peckham Road, Peckham High Street and Queen's Road which are 30mph.

I live pretty close to the skate park and have never experienced any issues with the skateboarders.

If TfL could assign the Oyster discount I receive to my contactless card, it'd make life a lot more easier than having to top up every week.

The cuts to public transport as ridership goes back up as more people return to work in-person have been damaging. Bar London Overground, there have been cuts from the train operating companies under the DfT. West Dulwich and Sydenham Hill have seen their services cut to 2 trains per hour for most of the day by Southeastern, while East Dulwich and North Dulwich are back up to four trains per hour. Even Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park which has more trains combined than the Dulwich stations thanks to the Overground has seen their Southern London Bridge services cut from 4 trains per hour to 2. As for buses, the bus lanes need to be proritised again with shared use for bikes. Where there's space then of course have segregated bike lanes, but as seen in Waterloo where bus lanes have been converted into bike lanes or to extend the pavement, it's making bus journeys even longer.
-
Just to add on the electric buses issue. Lordship Lane will see the 40 and 185 receive fully electric buses, but that still leaves the 176 and 197 using hybrids and the P13 using fully diesel vehicles.

I'm in two minds about this. Most people including the elderly and disabled use some form of Oyster card or debit/credit card (including the Freedom Pass & 60+) for travelling within London, but for those who can't use the internet or need the advice of ticket clerks, it's a negative. However, it's very easy to buy rail tickets online and collect from the ticket machines. I've been collecting rail tickets to travel across the country for years either at Forest Hill or East Dulwich. Forest Hill being a London Overground station can also sell boundary zone tickets from the machines to destinations outside London. This has been years in the making, as soon as National Rail stations were added to Oyster PAYG, they deliberately hiked up paper tickets from our stations to ensure that people use Oyster and with Contactless being used more than Oyster these days, it's really game over inside London at least. The train operating companies outside London have introduced smart cards as an alternative to paper tickets, but they're the same price as the paper one.

The e-bike/scooter area on the corner of Barry Road and Underhill Road has been tided up leaving a clear path for pedestrians.

I wondered why I got a "Dulwich Hill" Streets for People Newsletter through my door despite not being in Dulwich Hill ward. The map shown above also covers part of Dulwich Wood and Peckham Rye wards.
