Trains and other transport running this morning? [The TravelWatch in the Snow Official thread]


Recommended Posts

I saw a P13 creeping south along Underhill about 10 mins ago, just past the cemetery - no evidence of any gritting on that road - I saw a gritter at about 7.45 last evening, but it wasn't scattering much/ any grit - looked more like a slow leak than a gritting run.
My husband was just on a 176 heading south down Dog Kennel Hill. The bus started sliding down the hill, so the driver stopped and made everyone get off. Another 176 behind that one had the same thing happen. After making all the people get off, the buses continued down the hill, so he's wondering if they'll turn around and head back north. Either way, it doesn't sound promising.
No number 40 bus from the Library and no 176 (as at 6-30 am). There was a lorry stuck on Lordship lane Southbound where it starts to climb up towards the library causing chaos. I got the 185, which was diverted through peckham, and off at oval and onto the northern line. Total time to Bank 1.5 hours. Hate this - must get my motorbike fittes with stabilisers...

From BBC -


A2216 Lordship Lane East Dulwich, southbound at Townley Road

A2216 London - A2216 Lordship Lane in East Dulwich blocked southbound at the Townley Road junction, because of an accident.

Has anyone got a train from peckham rye/Denmark hill to city thameslink direction?

National rail is showing only a couple of trains and with delays... I'm pregnant so don't really want to venture out if they aren't really running... Thanks!

sheepdog - sorry ,don't quite see because mentally challenged - is 185 coming doen East Dulwich Rd and then left at Peckham Rye .

Wondering where to try and pick it up .

mrs f - if I were you (as in pregnant) I wouldn't go out today at all. The train stations are effectively shut and will be hell if they do open, but the risk of slipping on the paths is much greater


I ended up head over heels and landed flat on my back - it must have been alarming to see because a car stopped to see if I was ok.


But my other half is pregnant and apart from me saying she shouldn't walk in these conditions, her work have told her to not even try as well


But in general, if people are worried, any journey to town shouldn't take much more than an hour - walk to Camberwell and buses are running fine from there

mrs f - stay home...even if you manage to find a safe way to get to work, there's no guarantee you will be able to get home easily tonight. Don't risk it. I'm pregnant too and have opted to stay home rather than risking the possiblility of gettting stuck walking miles, slipping ang falling or getting stuck waiting ages in the cold for buses trains. Stay home with your little bean and stay warm and cozy!
I have just come back home and given up trying to get in. 197 is running but impossible to get on one at the Clockhouse on the Rye. No 63, 363 or 12 as far as I could tell. The pavement along the Rye is absolutely trecherous.
What buses I saw on LL earlier thus morning were packed to gunnels so I walked to Brixton and hopped on Tube. Was quite invigorating and I suspect quicker/warmer than hanging round the bus stop until a 185 with room came by
Hi all, I waited for a long time on LL for a bus towards Vauxhall to no avail. In the end I walked to the end of Rye Lane expecting to get a 36 or a 436 but a 185 came along randomly! Must be on diversion. There are buses running regularly from the bottom of Rye Lane with no problems but as someone mentioned above, the pavements are rather treacherous so take extra care if you go that way

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built. 
    • I am looking for 1 unit which is working for £50 cash. Thank you
    • Can’t recommend the company enough, great service.
