I have just driven from Brixton to East Dulwich and had to divert through Dulwich Village rather than going straight down in to Herne Hill. The police had the road all taped off, a 37 bus was clearly involved but I wondered what more? On a dark, wet night like tonight I do hope it wasn't a cyclist.

Anna, I agree with you....the administrator took off one of my threads from the main section, a transport issue, that they said was not East Dulwich specific. Well Mr/Mrs/Ms administrator, I repeat....a little more flexibility. I assume many of the passengers on the bus were East Dulwich residents, therefore this thread was perfectly suited to the main section.

Apologies if it annoyed you TonQuinn but, as mentioned via PM, your post "Lady Gaga tickets wanted" was not an East Dulwich specific issue and was therefore moved from the ED issues section and into the Wanted section. There was no discussion about transport or buses.
Thanks TonyQuinn - I agree with his point that he (I assume its a man) thought I was purely asking what the bus had hit however I originally posted it in the 'general section' so people in East Dulwich would know to avoid the area when travelling to and from Herne Hill and Brixton during the evening. Several of the bus routes were a complete mess making it very hard for my partner to get home....clearly admin thought he knew better.

Hi *Anna*, it was not a case of me "knowing better", you simply never mentioned the traffic problems in your post, just a request to know information about an accident in Herne Hill.


[added] You did mention you were diverted whilst driving but not that the bus routes were a complete mess.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
