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.

    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
