hoipolloi Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Tried to get bus down Rye Lane and was turfed off early, whole of the Lane closed to traffic. Anyone know what has happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was further down Rye Lane and there was a TfL staff member advising people of alternative routes. He said a bus had knocked down a pedestrian and the road was cleared to allow air ambulance to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You're right, one of my colleagues was on the bus in the incident at Peckham Garage. An elderly gentleman was knocked down; she exchanged numbers with the (very shocked) female driver of the bus. Last I heard the guy was in King's in a serious condition. It does seem like a run of horrible accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The blockage on rye lane was probably caused by the tail back from road-works halfway along the road to camberwell, where half the road was blocked off and traffic lights installed.

malcomio Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 no as Ann said, the 343 hit someone. I was on the top deck so I didn't see anything, but the bus was halfway across into the other lane, and didn't move for a long time, so traffic was affected in both directions. I guess the driver has to leave the bus where it is until the police come to investigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
