i saw the flat bed truck tipped up. the workman on the estate and i were laughing at the stupidity of the driving to have forgotten to put his crane down. all the trains are crawling past the back of the house so i would say that a normal service seems to have resumed, only one train crosses the bridge at a time.
I was on the 176 this morning when this happened. The buses were diverted into Dulwich Village (East Dulwich Road) onto a road with a low bridge (an act of pure genuis given the nature of the original incident). The buses all stopped and put the passengers off so but there were so many buses blocking the road that there needed to be a diversion around the diversion.

The jib of the backloader wedged under the bridge, pulling the cab and front wheels in the air; not as high as in that shot, admittedly, but still, a few feet off the ground.

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
