No water Underhill Rd (Horniman end) - anyone else affected?

[Applespider]

I have water tonight despite the road closure though still not sure I'll risk a washing load!

I do wonder if there's any scope to bring the permanent works that are due to start on 16 Feb forward rather than do yet another temporary repair.

Thames Water say the leak has been fixed, but the road remains closed until the road surface has been relaid.

[Applespider]

Thanks for the update. Given it is a red route and the South Circ, wonder if they?ll rush it overnight or wait til morning. Might set the alarm a little earlier just in case.

The pipes burst open - after it's been fixed - and the water is flowing down LL again.

Buses now on diversion until Sunday evening.

LORDSHIP LANE, SE22: Routes 176 185 and 197 are diverted until 2000 Sunday 10 February via Barry Road, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill Road and Honor Oak Road due to emergency waterworks on Lordship Lane, and buses are unable to serve stops between Dulwich Library and Horniman Museum.

Count your blessings this afternoon a 185 on it's apparent way to Lewisham decided to go OFF route

from Honor Oak Road,

left into Tyson rd,

left onto Devonshire road,

left onto Boveney road,

left into Hengrave road,

left onto Honor Oak Road,

right and back down Forest Hill Road,

left onto Woodvale all the way to the end,

finally left back onto London Road/ Lordship lane.

The back roads of SE23 are not designed for buses as the driver found out to his cost, having to manoeuvre some very, very tight corners to get around. Doubt he'll be repeating it, and what those living on teh back streets thought when the 185 went doen the roads, I have no idea.

Presumably best way for visitor arriving from Clapham Junction tomorrow is either to get to LL and take P13 or overground to Peckham Rye & 363?

The P13 is currently diverted away from Peckham Rye due to Rye Lane gas works. Personally depending on which part of LL they're going to, I'd get them to change at Peckham Rye for a Southern train to East Dulwich and then bus from there or walk.

They can also walk from Peckham Rye station to Peckham Bus Station where they can get the 37 or P13 to the Goose Green end.

P13 today was on up LL and left along Whately and Underhill, but don't know where it went from Underhill/Langton rise junction, it carried on towards Melford road.

P13 was normal route towards Streatham.

It is all starting to feel like a magical mystery tour when you get on a bus either side of these works. TW must have had their permit extended. It was supposed to expire at 7pm on Friday

Thanks all. They are coming to Underhill below Melford Rd stop, but were thinking about stopping off on LL to pick up something en route. They might decide to take overland to PR and 363 down instead.

It does feel rather like a magical mystery tour, you're right Applespider!

Hi so can we get the P13 from one stop ahead of the one that intersects with Underhill and Melford? Might save me a few Uber?s :)

[intexasatthe moment]

If the bus is on a diversion I don't think they will stop .

Having said that I did see a P ( something 4 ? ) stop on Barry Rd yesterday ,but I think that was just that driver exercising discretion/anarchy .

[Bic Basher]

Buses will stop on diversion by request.

[intexasatthe moment]

Oh ,that's good to know .Thanks Bic .
