As someone who formerly relied on the P13 for the nursery run while pregnant, I'm so grateful I'm not using that route for the moment as the road has been closed for almost a month! As the P13 also serves Sainsbury's ... surely there are people who rely on this route for getting out the house and their shopping (thinking of older people especially)


How can it take so long to do one teeny bit of road?!

Considering the large number of men ?working? in Whateley road I do not understand how the progress is so slow! I wonder if there is a phone number on the barriers around the work. Maybe we could all ring whatever company is doing the work..

The so-called works at Whateley Road seem to be complete. But I suppose it will take the 'workers' another 4 weeks to remove the Road Closed notice! So hard luck P13 users, who have been treated very shabbily by The Mayor of London & TFL


Why oh Why was the P13 diversion not via Roads like Pellat Rd, Barry Rd, Crystal Palace Rd (to name but a few) instead of closing off ALL Underhill Road - including the old Folks care home in Underhill Rd? I guess TFL either don't care, or they're having a laugh. I don't suppose we can swear on this site. Pity - as I can think of a few choice words I'd like to address to TFL & Mr. Khan!


Having said all this, I must compliment the P13 drivers who have done their best to help in trying circumstances over which they have no control.

The side roads would have be tested for suitability for the buses used, along with route learning for the drivers.


Using the main road ensures that the buses can be kept to as close to the route as possible without any major delays, but I emphasise with Underhill Road residents who have been without their bus route for a month.

The resurfacing of Whateley Road between Lordship lane and just beyond Landcroft Road is now timetabled for next Thursday 12 April.


It was postponed due to the weather from memory and the earlier closure in March.


So expect the P13 to be diverted again.

Farcical. you couldn't make it up if you tried, why don't you inconvenience everyone AGAIN. Oh BUT you are.


What seems to be forgotten is that people rely on the P13 who live on roads adjacent to Underhill so that they can get to Sainsburys DKH. Being on diversion will again further inconvenience a great number of people. Someone needs to get this sorted ASAP.

oops realise the irrelevance of this ... I did not realise how we depended upon the P13 until it did not adhere to the proscribed route

Who would believe that we are living in a leafy suburb of a major city

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.
    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
