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


Recommended Posts

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.
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.
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...

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.

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 - 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 .

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

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!
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.
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
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

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
