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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
