Collision by peckham rye

Wow didn't realise it happened that long ago. Agree hope no one badly hurt. They were still sorting out towing the bus 5.45pm when I walked past (had to get off bus as traffic really slow).

Can't imagine how it happened on that stretch with bus and van going in opp directions, guess one overtaking?

Pic of bus attached, was a shock to see! (Excuse headphone lead across pic)

This accident happened in front of my flat.

Thank you to the two kind citizens who took on the role of managing the traffic as the police and paramedics assessed the scene and before additional officers turned up. Apparently the bus driver broke his leg but I guess given that there were passengers on board, including a group of school kids it could have been a lot worse.

    • Over a 1,000 affordable homes, a new park, jobs and businesses where there is currently a huge car park? I’ll take the former, yeh. I know you’re obsessed with encouraging more cars everywhere, but we actually need housing and this is not a sustainable or desirable vision for London imo:
    • I just wanted to recommend Andy (again :))  He has some some work for me in the past and I just had him remove a huge bush at the fro t of my drive and he did such a proffesional job. communicating very well, and kept the place tidy at all times . No complaints and already looking to book him in for more work. thanks Andy !
    • Exactly....perhaps some of those commenting on here never went to either the cinema or the bowling alley but they were always very busy whenever I went - so they were both very well used resources. I am sorry to see them go but you know, good that they have been shut down because it gets rid of the car park.....#rollseyes No it's not but do we take it then that your vision of London then is huge swathes of over-priced loft-style apartments or luxury apartment blocks sold to the most wealthy, that come with a coffee shop, a 24-hour over-priced supermarket, an expensive gym and pool and a separate (discreet) entrance for those living in the (few) affordable houses that were built (for sale or often rent) to satiate planning requirements (that often start with a bold commitment but then gets significantly diluted throughout the process)? I refer you to the Elephant and Castle Masterplan.......funny how the architects seemingly always refer to them as masterplans.... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/24/developers-ruining-cities-elephant-and-castle-london
    • The rail connection is quite quick BUT Surrey Quays is not mobility accessible. It's an old station with a steep flight of stairs IIRC. I've always gone one stop further to the redeveloped (or as some would have it "socially cleansed and gentrified") Canada Water station which has a lift, and then come back. The last time I went to the Surrey Quays shops half of the units looked empty and two scrotes with an angle grinder were stealing a bike from the bike rack.
