East Dulwich Grove closed

[heartblock]

ED Grove closed both ways due to burst water main. Closed but very little activity from Thames Water.. just standing around enjoying the peace and quiet.

 

ohh it’s lovely and quiet without all that traffic 😄

That's going to be interesting for the 37 bus 🫣

 

EAST DULWICH GROVE, SE22: Route 37 is on diversion in both directions via Herne Hill, Denmark Hill, Champion Park, Grove Lane and Grove Vale due to Thames Water works. Buses towards Putney Heath/Green Man will not serve stops ‘Derwent Grove’(B) to ‘Herne Hill’(E). Buses towards Peckham Bus Station will not serve stops ‘Herne Hill’(D) to ‘Derwent Grove’(U). Please allow extra time for your journey.

In the interest of fair play would a re routed 37 travel down court lane etc.

So TW have managed in just a few months to close Lordship Lane and now EDG? We probably need fewer side returns, second and third bathrooms, and more investment in pipe by TW.

In the interest of fair play would a re routed 37 travel down court lane etc. - yes this is logical.

East Dulwich Grove is closed outside the old hospital site owing to Thames Water digging up the road again

Maybe with all the revelations about their shocking debt and equal payments to shareholders, that they are having to be seen to do something?

Or do they just do superficial recurring fixes?

[Angelina]

Thames Water are beyond awful.

So much money paid in dividends, so much debt, so little investment.

What is happening to the 42?

have a hospital app at Tessa Jewell. Have walking problem

thanks

[northernmonkey]

I'd imagine it will follow the same diversion as the 37 @richard tudor - theres no where for the bus to turn round so won't be going to the hospital.  Closest stop is probably Elsie or the station and then using the cut through path from Melbourne Grove north end by the charter school entrance on Jarvis Road.

Get a bus to East Dulwich Station, then walk up Melbourne Grove, take the first on the right into Jarvis Road. It's a cul-de-sac with a school at the end, but at the end there is a footpath off to the left which leads into the car park of Tessa Jowell health centre.

It's still a way if you have trouble walking, but might be the closest bus stop.

This is my understanding of 37 route (having been on it today).  Red is current route, blue normal

  I don't represent TFL Thames water or anyone else !!

Is this going to increase traffic going towards and using the south circular as East Dulwich Grove is an alternative route to Brixton or Tulse Hill ? 

[ianr]

And here, following OOF's more skilful example, is my graphic version (orange line) of the 42 diversion., my understanding being that south of King's College Hospital, it uses Dog Kennel Hill in both directions.  It's superimposed on TFL's own map of the usual route (red line).    No mention here yet of normality restored, so I hope I'm not out-of-date.

Back to Thames Water why did many of us well over 40 rejoice in the privatisation water and other utilities under Thatcher and particular Major and even under Blair whilst we made a quick buck. I didn't buy any shares ....

Serves us right!

37 seems to be back on its normal route. But i Will keep my map for the (un?) likely  event of a repeat.
