P13 on diversion

[Guest]

On the return journey in the direction of Streatham, the P13 is diverting from Underhill Road to Barry Road and back onto Lordship Lane. Road works on Underhill somewhere causing the diversion. Looks like the diversion is only in one direction.

 

From the TfL website, "UNDERHILL ROAD: Route P13 is on diversion from Underhill Road/Crystal Palace Road to Lordship Lane/Grove Tavern via Barry Road and Lordship Lane due to a burst water main. Buses towards Streatham are not serving the stops Friern Road, Dunstans Road, Langton Rise and Belvoir Road."

No timeframes or updates given by tfl and no updates on the Thames Water site either

It would be Thames Water which would need to give any time estimates, tfl would merely source their reports from Thames. And Thames would not be my go-to source for anything much nowadays. Thieving incompetents focussed on feathering the nests of their corporate owners at the expense of their customers whilst failing to meet the standards set them by their weak-willed regulator. Or words to that effect!

The road is still up but there is no work going on. Best case scenario is that they are awaiting the 'making good' squad and that the actual pipe repair is complete.

I did see somewhere saying (would have been either TFL or Citymapper) that the route was due to be disrupted until Wednesday, which would be a pain... Can't seem to find mention of it now, however

My bus app says until 17 july (wed).

Geek note - TFL publish info and hopefully same info appears on their website and different apps. I happen to use UK bus checker.
