Weather issues in East Dulwich - Schools, Transport...

[daizie]

Its seems that you're ok until you get to Camberwell, it might be ok by then though. Hope you're not in heels again giggirl!

[giggirl]

Are the trains running from London Bridge OK?

[Bluerevolution]

LB seems to be ok, wife has just landed at Peckham stn- Victoria and Charing X due to close at 2015hrs

[Otto]

Neighbor's daughter at Horniman School - she received a text this afternoon saying they are closed tomorrow...

[LordshipLaneMum]

LLane moving now. Can see queue of buses going southbound.

Good evening

This is my last update, I am ready for my bed been up since 430am and another early start tomorrow. Trains are severly affected for Sussex coast, metro area trains are running, some cancellations and delays but london bridge remains operational till end of service

However, with these freezing temperatures predicted tonight, I honestly believe that tomorrow morning will be chaotic! Network rail will run ghost trains tonight to keep routes open for the morning, I strongly suggest checking Southerns website first thing. I will update also in the morning

I have teams out at 1am to clear snow and another team out at 4am, East Dulwich is first on list and is also having paths cleared as I write this. It has been at times today, a losing battle clearing platforms

Barry - please marry me!

On track: idiot car drivers, don't attempt to move off in first gear. Select second and throttle gently. I keep screaming this at cars as I pass by - surprisingly they don't hear?!

[nunhead_man]

If you drive carefully at 20mph, keep in high gear low revs (e,g, move of in second gear and do not spin drive wheels) and have reasonable tyres. a light foot etc etc some back streets seem quite empty - I'm just guiding a friend (from Loughhborough junction to Nunhead) - up Herne Hill Road, right into Ferndene, left down Denmark Hill and right up Champoin Hill, across Dog Kennel Hill. down Grove Hill, left and right into Malf Road, Avondale and Maxted to up Crystal Palace Road, left into Underhill left on Dunstans, up Colyton / Homestall (oops - some silly b----er driving fast has just hit a parked car!!) and home

Hope that helps someone - if you have any grip at all try it as the roads leading to all the hills e.g. Forest Hill Road seem blocked by stuck cars

Bless you Barry , we all appreciate you & your team's efforts

Having just spent quite some time this evening enjoying the fine view of The Plough and the library with my increasingly irritated 2 year old daughter in the car, I've been thinking unthinkable things about the bendy buses... On a more positive note, the weather has brought a new experience: that of finishing off my car parking by hand pushing the back of the car sideways against the kerb on a rather icy Landcroft Road. Not much help from me, but appreciating the updates and deciding to make a first post after a couple of years lurking....

[Otto]

Dulwich Hamlet School now officially closed tomorrow!

[caper]

90 min journey on bus from DH to LL today at 5pm - nightmare

and the wife mentioned numerous people slipping/falling at ED station pathways around 9pm

[bawdy-nan]

any news on the roads now? I'm about to set off from town and wondering whether to walk it from brixton or try a bus - anyone kno0w what its like now?

[mumra]

Has anyone heard anything about Goodrich? Are they closed?

[bawdy-nan]

I guess no-one know then ...

[happyED]

Goodrich's web site goodrich.org.uk says "An update regarding school tomorrow (Thursday) will be posted on this site by 8am tomorrow."

[bawdy-nan]

roads I mean - #i;m either looking at a walk gfrom brixton or vauxhall - anyone know if there are any buses tfl not clear and no answer from the phone

[JohnL]

All the main roads are OK it seems to me - which means many buses OK - just got of the 436

All side roads seem to be a nightmare - skids etc.

[Mark]

I've seen a 37 bus going along ED Road about 5 minutes ago if that helps.

[womanofdulwich]

This all sounds like February doesn't it? Maybe we should all stay in town late, have a meal and a few drinks and get the bus back at 10 ish?

[bawdy-nan]

lovely - thank you!

[neecheecat]

I got the 176 from central London and had to walk from Camberwell Green to ED...

[ludoscotts]

just seen a 176 coming down the hill from forest hill first ive noticed all night but looks like they are up and running again

[minder]

Found out about Dulwich Hamlet's closed from my sister - what a nightmare for some parents and they've only just gone back - I'm lucky in that I'm a registered childminder so work from home (although I've got a week off now, ha ha with 3 of my own) - got two at The Charter so they will prob follow - will find out tomorrow to their delight.

Government are trying to get all parents with kids over 10 back to work - how's that gonna happen?

[bawdy-nan]

got a cab in the end (thank you work) and passed a 176 just near denmark hill station- not sure if that means it's all clear - roads seemed pretty icy even main ones
