I'm interested in understanding the preferred methods of transport, particularly in Yr 7 from kids living at the Peckham Rye end of East Dulwich.


For now my son is signed up to the school bus, which seems to work quite well in the morning. After school you seem to have sit and wait for 30-40 minutes before it leaves, though.


Cycling seems the way forward, I think we need to build his confidence a bit and then aim to switch to that.


Thanks in advance for any experiences.

Our Y7 takes the 363 to near the Woodhouse Pub and goes down the walkway to Sydenham Hill Station railway bridge or gets off at the Dome Hill Park stop and walks down Rock Hill. Then walks through the estate and comes out at back of the school.


They?re looking at doing the above cycle route too.

One of mine has always cycled, meeting up with a group of her friends at the library before heading across the park. The other originally took the P13, then the 363/Rock Hill route. Since Covid she?s been walking, which takes about the same time as the bus.


Cycling?s definitely quickest, and with pannier bags or a basket they?re not lugging their bags quite as far which I?m sure is better for their backs.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
