Due to a leaking pipe at the junction of Marmora Rd and Forest Hill Rd Thames Water have scheduled a repair starting on February 14th. Unfortunately Tfl have been notified and 63 buses suspended past Peckham Rye. I have contacted Thames Water and asked that either the works are moved forward or that the buses are reinstated until works start. I am waiting to hear back from them. 363s are running as usual.

Renata, huge thanks for this - losing the 63 bus for the last two days has been bad enough but even more frustrating when there are no repair works taking place. Hopefully can get sorted soon, although the works sound pretty major? Any idea how long they will take?

Can either the frequency of the 363 be increased to compensate for the loss of service of the 63?


Or could the 63 turn into Dunstan's road from Forest Hill Road, left onto Underhill. left onto Langton Rise, left onto Woodvale and left back onto Forest Hill Road, but that might be to easy for tfl?

Thanks Renata. The works have at least started now so hopefully not too long. TFL say at least 14 Jan.


Just a warning for those on the 363 who want to travel to E&C. Most (or all, driver this am wasn't sure) 363 buses are terminating early at Bricklayers Arms during these works, so TFL can keep the service on schedule despite the extra passengers.

I do not understand why buses finishing half-way through its usual route should help regulate it. Why not just run the fullest route possible and wait at any given stop when necessary? Any bus driver have the answer to this!

If a bus is running behind schedule, TFL terminate it early - then send it back the other way, so that it is "on time" for the return journey it is supposed to make.


I once complained about this to TFL and the answer was "we do terminate buses early to regulate service on the central part of the route and for the benefit of the majority of passengers on the route."

Hi Frenchpolisher,

I've just checked and 63s are showing up on the TFL countdown at Dunstans Rd and I've had emails to say that 63s are running, so I do think they are back to normal.

    • The council are really backward in their approach to management of grounds etc.  They will cut grass and mow through wild flowers / it seems continue to use pesticides according to some observations posted here.   Whilst having green policies food recycling etc blocking roads installing Bill n Ben flower pots in roads causing all sorts of heavy traffic in certain roads.  And installing new LED lights etc when we have adequate functioning lights already.   The impact on wildlife and quality of life for all is devastating.
