Just wondering if anyone knows what on earth is wrong with the traffic in Forest Hill? Yesterday at 11.15am there was a tailback from Forest Hill along Dartmouth Road to the girls school so I walked to the station. At 7.10pm when I returned, traffic was tailed back from Sainsburys FH to beyond the Kirkdale roundabout. Today at 3.10pm I needed to go to East Dulwich but once again there was a tailback in Dartmouth Road so I drove up Kirkdale. It took me 15 minutes to get half way up so I did a U-turn and came home. I noticed that the 197 and 176 buses were coming up the hill instead of Dartmouth Road - anyone know if there was a reason for this? I am aware that Sydenham Rise is closed but this shouldn't affect the traffic in such a dramatic fashion.
