I think much of the eastbound South Circ traffic that knows the area is carrying on through Sydenham and up Perry Hill to rejoin in Catford, thereby missing the often-congested Blythe Hill section anyway.
Where they then get caught in the roadworks in Sydenham Road at the junction of Kent House Road. Single line traffic which is taking about 5/10 mins to get through.
Incidentally, Lordship Lane was handling the traffic well at 0840 this morning, the traffic was at not at rushhour levels towards Hornimans and Sydenham Hill and Kirkdale were quiet. I couldn't be bothered to walk this morning and commuted to Sydenham station and back up to LL.[/quote]
