It wasn't running up Whatley / Underhill this morning. Frustratingly the TfL live bus arrival website was showing it until about 5 minutes before arrival time when it would disappear. I assume they are just going straight along Lordship Lane towards the library.

They are, I saw one about 10 mins ago by Overhill Road.

Ah, cool... I've been trying to find out for about three weeks if they are doing the raised entry treatment on Whateley! No one ever answers the phone number on the traffic notices.


I didn't think to ask the P13 driver where he's stopping while on diversion when I rode it this morning, I just got off at Sogim to be sure. All he would say was that he was "going straight up Lordship".


I think Whateley is to be closed all week?

I saw it stop at the Overhill Road stop towards New Cross.

I found a status alert on the TfL site... it states:-


"From 08:00 Monday 05 March until 16:00 Thursday 29 March route P13 will be on diversion via Lordship Lane and will not be serving Whateley Road, Underhill Road due to roadworks. Towards Streatham catch bus from North Cross Road or from Grove Tavern. Towards New Cross catch bus from Lordship Lane Estate on Dulwich Common or from Melbourne Grove."


Fyi, the Melbourne Grove bus stop going north (towards Goose Green) is actually in front of the Picturehouse Cinema/gym...


So, it looks like the bus won't stop at the interim Lordship bus stops unless you beg the driver.

March 29th - thats an additional week!!

We've also had a note put through our door from british gas saying theyre going to be upgrading things from the end of the month, anyone know if that means digging up roads - if so that will mean no bus service for a lot longer...

the drivers will (should ) stop at any bus stop along the diversion if you either put your hand out or ring the bell.

  • 2 weeks later...

There has been some work going on there raising the kerb and replacing the pavement at that junction.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
