No busses up Rye Lane

[spanglysteve]

All, to be aware, there are no busses up rye lane, and this morning there was no temporary stops after Nigel Road. Therefore to get to the station your only options are Nigel Road or Peckham library!!

[chauveau]

Does anyone know how long this diversion is on for?

[spanglysteve]

According to tfl Twitter it's due to emergency roadworks. When I walked down rye lane there were hopes all over it. I think they are looking for a leaking main. Could I guess there is no indication at the moment of likely durations :(

UBER is claiming that I live in "Camberwell" when I most certainly do not.

I asked the gas guy this morning and he said the rest of the week as they significant works to complete.

[khedley]

Thanks Spanglysteve for posting this. Nice to be ahead of the commuting curve for once!

Normally when buses are diverted, drivers will normally drop passengers off in Copeland Road at the junction of Bournemouth Road for Peckham Rye station and Clayton Road at the bus stand for the town centre.

[adsyb99]

Does anyone know if the busses are running yet?

TFL currently says:

RYE LANE, SE15: Bus routes 12, 37, 63, 78, 197, 343, 363 and P12 are subject to diversion and delays in both directions on Rye Lane, SE15 due to emergency roadworks. Buses are diverted northbound from Peckham Rye, right Copeland Road, left Consort Road, left Clayton Road, (routes 12 and 343 then go left Hanover Park, right Rye Lane and rejoin line of route) ahead Clayton Road and rejoins line of route. Buses are diverted southbound from Hanover Park, ahead Clayton Road, right Consort Road, right Heaton Road, left Peckham Rye and rejoins line of route.

From what Strawbs said it's going to last all week.

[adsyb99]

Thanks, appreciate that.

When I cycled down there last night, only a small section south side of Bournemouth Road junction was blocked off. It was kind of nice to experience half of Rye Lane without traffic and made me think that pedestrianising south of Bournmouth Road, and re-routing buses down Bournemouth and back round to meet Peckham Rye could work. Would be a great spot for a proper market too.

[KidKruger]

the buses are running, they just ditch you early if you're after Rye lane, it's no big deal - just walk 250 metres.

[Bic Basher]

At least the 12 is able to pick up and drop off at The Aylesham Centre stop in Rye Lane.

[gatt4950]

I asked the guys working there today and they told me its till Saturday.

[spanglysteve]

Good news, they have restored the temporary stop on Copeland road

[nunhead_man]

Yeah - me too

Now if the contractors had left a cycle lan as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place in the heart of the construction industry - especially in their motor vehicle role in causing death and serious injury to cyclists - about 50% of cases?

Having been a pedestrian "fighting it out" with cyclists through the Rye Lane roadworks the other day, my over riding feeling was get off you bike and push it for 100yrds.

I was not alone in having a small child with me and couldn't believe the callous & unthoughtful attitude of several cyclists who seemed to see it as a sport to weave around everyone regardless of anyone else - pretty disrespectful and ironic given how quickly most cyclists complain about the lack of respect their given with regard to their own safety.

Feel that some cyclists need to learn to treat others how they'd like to be treated themselves.

[Blah Blah]

Yeah cyclists should get off and walk along the pavement. I do that and it takes me all of 40 seconds to do so. Just selfish people at the end of the day.

[Strawbs]

Are they running this morning does anyone know? Cheers

[Strawbs]

They are running

[nunhead_man]

As I said buggie -

"Now if the contractors had left a cycle lane as opposed to leaving us fighting it out with pedestrians I'd feel cyclists finally have a place

So how about blaming the contractors not the cyclists?

Southwark KNOWS how many cyclists use that route in weekday am and pm - if not a lane why not a diversion?

Erm, how about not? If a cyclist doesn't have the sense to get off their bike & causes an accident by riding on the pavement then it's their fault, not the contractors (unsure where exactly you think s cycle lane could gone!) the road is closed to all traffic & if you don't want to use the diversion for all other wheeled traffic then go through on foot.

Am guessing you're not in PR as you're doing a pretty shocking job of sounding reasonable/endearing me to you.

Like I said, I found it no inconveniece at all to get off my cycle and walk along the pavement for all of 40 seconds. I don't see why other cyclists could not do the same.

[nunhead_man]

Hey blah blah - that is precisely what I did the first time - and went around the back streets after that until the work was done.
