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

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.

Rte's 40,176 & 185 are diverted from Lordship Lane via

East Dulwich Grove - Rye Lane - (rtn via Peckham High St - Claytob Rd - Hanover Pk) - Peckham Road -

Camberwell Rd LOR

You mean East Dulwich Road, not Grove.

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.

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

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
