I only cycle a short section of that road, but for what it's worth, the new surface is very welcome indeed. As for the parking only on one side, and how that affects traffic lanes/room for cyclists, the simple fact is that it is not a wide road. Two lanes of traffic, lots of which is buses, plus parking - that's never going to be a particularly nice place for cyclists to be. My main concern has already been mentioned above, and that is the cars going up the hill away from the Peckham end who now see clear road and just put their foot down. It's happening already, I've seen it. Those calming devices dont' seem to pose much of an obstacle. Agree with DJKQ - zebra crossings make most sense. Those new crossings are not good enough.

Pez - are they actually putting double yellow lines on both sides all the way up the Nunhead side of Peckham Rye??

I've seen the new bit of pavement created for that crossing on Peckham Rye clattered twice by two cars who didn't see it. Both suffered burst tyres. That road is poorly lit at night but one of them was definitely doing a fair bit more than 30.

Just seen the new double deckers in use... man I will not miss the bendy buses!

Excellent. The sooner the bendy buses are gone from that route, the better.

Nothing more to add to what is above - just another voice in support. Route is fantastic, service is a running joke amongst everyone I know who uses it.

Either after or instead of the Vale, I'd add Hoopers. The question then is whether you want to take it to Bellenden area and add the Gowlett and Victoria. Up to you. Enjoy!

They're still at it. Just had two men with Talk Talk badges on their belts babbling on about free broadband. We're in Peckham Rye. Nothing they said made any sense, other than they come in 'to write somme stuff down'. They were politely told to leave.

Not sure if it still is, but during December and January the 8.16am train to L Bridge from Peckham Rye (so I guess 8.13ish from ED) was consistently 10/15 minutes late. Same morning, same train, late by the same time - what's more, trains either side were on time.

Cycling could be the answer I'd suggest
