P13 Bus Route - Underhill Road

[Howard Golder]

I am sick & tired of the P13 bus-stops in Underhill Road being repeatably closed, and I?m not the only one, judging by the following message posted on one of these bus stops :?The ***holes have done it again!'.

This time it is due to a burst water-main, and I can?t help but wonder if Thames Water damaged this water-main themselves when carrying out the works that closed Underhill Road last week!

I also note that TFL no longer put the ?Bus Stop Closed? notice on the flag,so that even disabled and elderly people have to take, what to them, could be a long walk to find out the bus-stop is closed.

Is it really worth having a P13 bus route serving Underhill Road nwhen P13 users are constantly persecuted in this way?

What the Hell have we done to make Thames Water, TFL etc dislike us so much! Indeed ? is it really worth living in Dulwich?

I agree! This has to be the 6th or 7th time that the P13 (which I rely upon daily) is on diversion.

And yes! They've given up even announcing it, or signposting it. The last three days, I've had to wait up to 30 minutes (in the rain with two young kids) for the bus. It's maddening.

I am also at my wit's end!

The P13 is so quiet when on diversion, which goes to show how well used the bus is used on Underhill Road.

P13 originally went up Upland road. But people there were too posh and had it moved to Underhill.

The diverted route is Underhill till Barry road, right to onto Barry road, Left onto Lordship Lane, then returns to ususal route, right at the Grove Tavern.

As others have said it's an absolute inconvenience, especially for coming back from DKH. Why can't they just allocate more workman to do all the works in one go when it is closed or actually plan the works.
