P13 bus on diversion today 04/04/24

[ctovey]

The P13 bus is on diversion due to a new bus stop being erected in Sainsburys DKH.  There are no notices on affected bus stops and no announcements on the buses.  Diversion is - from Peckham, the bus turns left from Pytchley Road on to DKH, so not a big issue.  But going towards Peckham, the bus seems to be diverting via Goose Green/ Peckham Rye because it can't turn right into Pytchley Rd.  There is nothing on TFL website, so don't know how long this will be.  Incidentally, the 42 bus is still running into Sainsburys!

Thanks for the warning, I was going to use the P13 to get a big shop from Sainsbury’s tomorrow. I can’t find anything on the TfL website either.

You would have thought that local Cllrs would have posted this on the forum as so many people in Dulwich and Peckham use this service.

Remember many elderly people do not have Iphones to get this news after waiting at bus stops for god knows how long.

I have messaged TFL, but not had a response as yet!

This is a weird complaint. I'm not sure if you're the same person who made it last time there is a similar bus diversion.

Councillors can't just spend all their time posting on forums about anything that vaguely relates to their constituency even if it doesn't relate to their responsibilities. Their access to bus stop closure information (!) is just the same as yours. This is a TfL question and they're the only ones able to publish reliable information.

Besides, if your point is that OAPs don't have iPhones to access the TfL information, how would they be accessing the East Dulwich Forum? (All the OAPs I know are constantly on Facebook anyway...)

When I was there at lunch time today the work was well underway and they seemed to be finishing the final works so hopefully tomorrow the bus stop may have "re-opened". 

There was enough space for the P13 to have gone to an alternative location in the car park to drop off and pick up passengers today. It was sheer laziness by TfL not to make alternative arrangements.

Buses are now running in/out of Sainsburys.
