P13 on diversion - again!

[ctovey]

P13 is on diversion between Primark, Peckham and Sainsburys, Dog Kennel Hill via Peckham Rye, both directions, due to road works on Avondale Rise railway bridge.  Avondale Rise is completely closed to traffic between Coplestone Road and Ivanhoe Road.

With the number of times this bus has been shut off along this  same bit of road in the past months you would have thought they could they could have found another route to help old people and others in the lost triangle to reach Sainsbury’s without having to walk great distances with shopping.

Indeed.  I was shopping in Peckham yesterday with my husband.  Got there ok on the P13, but on boarding the bus coming home, the driver received a phone call telling him about the diversion.  No prior warning at all and I found out later that the works were planned, not emergency, so no excuse. Ended up having to walk most of the way home with a shopping trolley and heavy bags - both of us in our 70s and I have recently had major surgery on my leg!  Ended up in tears by the time I got home!!!!  No point complaining to TFL, they send standard responses.  Can't hear any work going on this morning, so don't expect the diversion to end before the weekend!  Happy Xmas shopping folks!

Is this anything todo with the emergency repairs they did a few weeks ago?

I highly recommend using the TfL Go app. It states it’s due to emergency electrical works.

is it connected to the repair done a few weeks ago when the same road was close. Does any one know?

That was a water leak
