The shelter was damaged quite heavily (i.e. no glass and roof on ground), by what looked like a collision. The railings to the apartments behind has also been bent back. I surmise a vehicle or vehicles mounted the kerb. Hope nobody was hurt.
It happened in the early hours of Friday morning. According to a woman who lives opposite, a car came down the hill too fast, mounted the pavement, smashed into the railings (you can see the chunk out of the stone as well as the railings being bent back) and ended up in the bus stop - after wiping out the bin and the bus stop. Emergency services were there until 6am and the pavement etc was patched up. As there's been little news about it, I'm hoping that any injuries were minor. Lucky there was no-one standing at the bus stop!

Hi


I live in the Highwood close estate right by where the bust stop used to be. As far as I know its pretty much as Applespider stated. Speeding driver lost control. Really lucky no one was waiting at the stop....The sound of the smash was unbelievable, woke up the whole estate!


That stretch of the road is really dangerous. So many speeding cars that aren't expecting a build up of traffic from the large number of lane changes ahead (due to road splitting to East Dulwich or Dulwich Park) or the lights from the pedestrian crossing.


Ive been asking the MP to try and make it safer (perhaps a speed camera) but to no avail so far......

Does anyone know whom you contact at TFL to find out what is going on with the replacement of this bus shelter that was completely removed following a road accident? At the moment there is just a temporary "lollipop" bus stop. It would help if TFL were to put up a notice explaining what their intentions are.

I have been trying hard to get a response from TFL about what their intentions are in terms of replacing the bus shelter removed following a traffic accident several weeks ago.

I have now received this reply


"Thanks for your further email of 3 December about a bus stop on Lordship Lane.


There should be construction underway already. Works are scheduled to be finished by 23 December.


Thanks again for taking the time to contact us. Please contact us again if you need any further assistance, or if you would prefer to talk to us about this matter, please call us on 0343 222 1234"


Some progress seems to have been made but there is no sign of construction at the moment despite what they say!

Just received the following from TFL about the replacement of this bus shelter which was removed following an accident in November. How can it take 3-4 months to replace something that was previously there. Surely TFL have stocks of these things as it cannot be a unique event. Meanwhile we all get wet and cold!


"Thank you for your further email of 8 January about the bus shelter on Lordship Lane. I appreciate you taking the time to get in touch.


I have looked into this for you. The Bus Infrastructure Team has confirmed it takes between 12 and 16 weeks for a bus shelter to be replaced after an accident so the shelter should be installed by the end of March. Please accept my apologies for the incorrect information you received in our previous correspondence.

Thanks again for contacting us. Please contact me again if you need any further assistance, or, if you would prefer to talk to us about this matter, please call us on 0343 222 1234"

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
