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.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
