Trains and other transport running this morning? [The TravelWatch in the Snow Official thread]

[Penguin68]

I saw a P13 creeping south along Underhill about 10 mins ago, just past the cemetery - no evidence of any gritting on that road - I saw a gritter at about 7.45 last evening, but it wasn't scattering much/ any grit - looked more like a slow leak than a gritting run.

Thanks Emmadrama.

My husband was just on a 176 heading south down Dog Kennel Hill. The bus started sliding down the hill, so the driver stopped and made everyone get off. Another 176 behind that one had the same thing happen. After making all the people get off, the buses continued down the hill, so he's wondering if they'll turn around and head back north. Either way, it doesn't sound promising.

Blimey - just seen bendy bus 12 and a 197 heading down Barry Rd towards Peckham .

That and two 197's going up towards the library are all I've seen in last 2 hours .

[Sheepdog]

No number 40 bus from the Library and no 176 (as at 6-30 am). There was a lorry stuck on Lordship lane Southbound where it starts to climb up towards the library causing chaos. I got the 185, which was diverted through peckham, and off at oval and onto the northern line. Total time to Bank 1.5 hours. Hate this - must get my motorbike fittes with stabilisers...

[intexasatthe moment]

sheepdog - which route did the 185 go on it's diversion through Peckham?

[Ramble66]

From BBC -

A2216 Lordship Lane East Dulwich, southbound at Townley Road

A2216 London - A2216 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich blocked southbound at the Townley Road junction, because of an accident.

walked to camberwell green , buses going to all directions

[mrs f]

Has anyone got a train from peckham rye/Denmark hill to city thameslink direction?

National rail is showing only a couple of trains and with delays... I'm pregnant so don't really want to venture out if they aren't really running... Thanks!

[Sheepdog]

past the peckham rye hotel, under the railway bridge, left at the mini roundabout past morrisons then straight down the main road to camberwell

[intexasatthe moment]

Ah, I see to avoid DKH . thanks sheepdog

[drew]

I took the 37 to Brixton in the end, and it was running its normal route. I am relatively new to the area ... do problems with the buses on LL happen every winter?

[intexasatthe moment]

sheepdog - sorry ,don't quite see because mentally challenged - is 185 coming doen East Dulwich Rd and then left at Peckham Rye .

Wondering where to try and pick it up .

[SeanMacGabhann]

mrs f - if I were you (as in pregnant) I wouldn't go out today at all. The train stations are effectively shut and will be hell if they do open, but the risk of slipping on the paths is much greater

I ended up head over heels and landed flat on my back - it must have been alarming to see because a car stopped to see if I was ok.

But my other half is pregnant and apart from me saying she shouldn't walk in these conditions, her work have told her to not even try as well

But in general, if people are worried, any journey to town shouldn't take much more than an hour - walk to Camberwell and buses are running fine from there

[awilliams123]

mrs f - stay home...even if you manage to find a safe way to get to work, there's no guarantee you will be able to get home easily tonight. Don't risk it. I'm pregnant too and have opted to stay home rather than risking the possiblility of gettting stuck walking miles, slipping ang falling or getting stuck waiting ages in the cold for buses trains. Stay home with your little bean and stay warm and cozy!

[Sheepdog]

sorry -yes right at the EDT, thel left at the corner of the common. However, it was non stop from EDT to camberwell so u'd have to go to EDT, or pick it up at campberwell

[ed_pete]

P4 running OK. Picked one up from Dulwich Village and got off outside Brixton Tube. Victoria and Northen lines running OK, albeit overcrowded (but that's probably normal).

Have you eyes?!

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Not too bad on the pavements in my wellies. But they have good tread on them.

[Sheepdog]

apparently now 176 and 185 stopping at camberwell - no service to dulwich...

[richfish]

I have just come back home and given up trying to get in. 197 is running but impossible to get on one at the Clockhouse on the Rye. No 63, 363 or 12 as far as I could tell. The pavement along the Rye is absolutely trecherous.

[mrs f]

Thanks, I decided to stay at home in the end... A guilt free day in bed is always appreciated by a pregnant woman!

And like you all say I wouldn't want to get stuck!!! !-)

[GinaG3]

Whats the best bus to get to Peckham right now 197, P13?

[Applespider]

What buses I saw on LL earlier thus morning were packed to gunnels so I walked to Brixton and hopped on Tube. Was quite invigorating and I suspect quicker/warmer than hanging round the bus stop until a 185 with room came by

[Embo]

Hi all, I waited for a long time on LL for a bus towards Vauxhall to no avail. In the end I walked to the end of Rye Lane expecting to get a 36 or a 436 but a 185 came along randomly! Must be on diversion. There are buses running regularly from the bottom of Rye Lane with no problems but as someone mentioned above, the pavements are rather treacherous so take extra care if you go that way
