I walked through the cemetery this morning to catch the 63 from its’ start at Therapia Road: no buses. I had to walk to Barry Road and wait for a diverted 363.

Peckham Rye is completely closed by the Harris school. A tree was being taken down but the TfL website says it’s Thames Water. It doesn’t say how long the closure is going on. The 363 is diverted via Lordship Lane and Barry Road both ways. The 63 starts from Nigel Road.

There was a burst water pipe Saturday on Peckham Rye West, with water pouring down the road, really dangerous as it became an ice rink with the cold weather. Thames water have closed the road,  erected barriers but no work seems to be taking place.  I thought it would have been given priority as a main route but obviously not!

Thames water seem to be slow at responding to a number of these types of leaks locally.

I have noted on another thread that Thames Water contractors are unlikely to want to incur significant costs until it is clear that Thames is not going into administration such that they may not be able to pay for the work. With the very poor quality of repairs locally anyway you may expect more disruption before things get better. And restrictions on road usage locally mean that what would have been alternative routes in the past are sealed off and unusable. Good, isn't it? 

yep, but that's not the discussion being had here, what is being discussed is the burst that has resulted in no bus service between Peckham Rye and the other end of Underhill Road, leaving elderly folk stranded and unable to get to Peckham or further. All a huge inconvenience.

I opened the thread just to let people know that the road was closed and the buses off. It’s only because I was heading to OKR that I went for the 63 . It’s pleasant stroll through Camberwell Old Cemetery since the gate opened on Underhill. It must be a pain for regular users of the 63. I take it the road is still closed?

I assume it is starting and ending early ie they have not cancelled the whole service.  Thanks for starting the thread.  Generally always worth checking as have been caught out a  few times.  For fans of buses I started a thread once, living the new electric buses but not a lot of interest.

Yes the road is still closed. I read the notice on the barrier this evening,  said work should be completed by 7th Feb. Hopefully that will be the case

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
