Bus route 63 not running between Peckham Rye and Forest Hill Road

[jazzer]

FOREST HILL ROAD, SE22: Route 63 is starting and terminating at 'Peckhan Rye/East Dulwich Road (WN/WK)' due to a mechanical vehicle. Buses will not be serving remaining stops from/to Therapia Road.

The road is clear, the turn around point at junc with Woodvale is clear, so no reason for the route to be curtailing at Peckham Rye. 

 

The 363 CONTINUES TO run along Peckham Rye, up Forest Hill Road and on route as per usual direction of travel both ways to Crystal Palace.

Oddly different bus garages and companies 63 and 363 I understand.  Don't ask me the logic

“Mechanical vehicle” is old London Transport speak for a broken down bus. All very Reg Varney…

I reckon it's because the clippy (conductor for those below a certain age) was popping in for some slap and tickle at some house whilst hubby was out.  A famous bus inspector, Blakey, lived for a few years with his sister, in Honor Oak, a few years ago before his death.

TfL said the change of route was due to a mechanical vehicle?

🤣🤣🤣
