I saw a 172 'special service' head up Forest Hill Rd towards Honor Oak..?

I believe it's being investigated as an alternative to extending the 63 to Honor Oak Park station, as there no standing room for a bus there, so instead they were talking about extending the 172 past Honor Oak Park and around to Forest Hill Road. I'm not sure how far it would be travelling on from there.

Considering I've seen four 63's parked up on Forest Hill Road recently, I don't think the 172 would have enough space there.


Peckham Rye has a spare stand at the moment, although that is currently used for short running buses on the 12, 37, 63, P12 and 197.

No, you were referring to Honor Oak Park station.


If it were a Tube station it would have a Tube line through it, which it doesn't.


If it were in Honor Oak, it would not be in Honor Oak Park, which it is.

It's amazing the places that ARE on the tube network these days...

Quite! The Tube map only shows TfL-managed services.


But then as lots of the Underground is overground and quite a bit of the Overground is underground, maybe I should stop worrying and love the bomb/get out more...

Don't get your hopes up! I would have expected that the Peckham Rye Councillors (hoped?) would be consulted/contacted about any plans to extend the 172. I've heard nothing, we are still continuing with the extend the 63 campaign. The reason that so far we have had no success, is on the grounds of cost. (Boris, unfortunately, has not been supportive). I doubt if it was too costly to extend the 63 4 stops, it would be any cheaper to extend the 172 from the Brockley Rise end.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
