Explosion in Camberwell (Bad traffic to East Dulwich 3/4/12 )

[Longlad]

My wife just had a nightmare getting home from Denmark Hill train station. She was told there a lot of roads closed and buses are struggling to get through

Just found this about whats happened

http://www.itv.com/news/london/story/2012-04-03/camberwell-explosion/

Just thought it would be helpful for people trying to get home to know. Guess Forest Hill is the best alternative for most of us

[sanity girl]

Thanks. I was wondering what had happened as I work in Denmark Hill and heard loads of sirens etc.

Utter pandamonium for traffic. Avoid.

[El Pibe]

are trains ok?

[Giacomelli]

on 185 now... On diversion, so actually quicker than usual as not stopping

[Belle]

Yes, took me an hr to get from ed to kings. Closed to pedestrians also - access to kings via coldhatbour lane if coming from camberwell.

Just to add that Camberwell's main thoroughfare has been blocked off and all buses have been diverted via Peckham. So, if you are going to East Dulwich from Camberwell, the first stop in East Dulwich is outside of Sea Cow on Lordship Lane.

Came past it on the 176. Fire in a building behind a hair salon immediatly to the left of the Camberwell Sexual Health Clinic.

We got through because it had only just broken out, one Police car on scene at that point, Fire Engines came belting down Denmark Hill as we drove on.

Does anyone know which buses are going from camberwell to east dulwich. Every 176 is terminating in camberwell?

You mean East Dulwich Road, not Grove.

[beaver14uk]

Your quite right. I suspect that it was typed up quickly as the incident was happening and someone got there Groves and Road muddled. I am sure the buses went the correct way.

Denmark hill reopened few hrs ago & traffic running as normal (in 484's case as rubbish as norm :) )

[southmark]

No concern for anyone involved? Suppose it's because it's not your 'patch'?:'(

[Longlad]

13 non sarcastic/caustic/rude etc comments in a row just too many to cope with southmark? Well done for making the first one. Hopefully you feel better now.

I for one have given myself a good talking to about what a heartless individual I am for trying to help other forum users get home. It's comments like that, that stop people bothering to post on here.

The point of the post was about the state of public transport and how to get home, not the particular incident. Of course we are all concerned for anyone that has been affected, I thought that would go without saying, but apparently not.

I look forward to your next attempt to make everyone feel bad/small

Don't feed the trolls

[mrure]

I walked from Denmark Hill Station to East Dulwich. Easy enough to do.
