iBus is still showing the P13 terminating at Streatham Station. I would have assumed it'd be more practical to terminate at Tulse Hill?

Anyway, thoughts to those involved. |

He must have been really desperate to attack people to chose Streatham as his target I don't think that's a very appropriate comment! Don't think terrorist think logically. |

Anyway, thoughts to those involved. Very bizarre and scary. I can’t believe this has happened so local to me. I’m literally in the Streatham area daily apart from today where I stayed at home. It has been a bad few weeks for South London. |

Banned right turn southbound I'd imagine the police on duty at the tape cordonning off the High Road southbound after that point were directing them round. It's at times like these that the cohesion of having all buses actually run by the one operator i.e. the old system might be better e.g. turning at BN without having to be an Arriva bus. Having said that, there wouldn't be room for everything to turn and stand there, and Streatham Hill Station stops wouldn't get served. My sister for one will be very glad the High Road is open in its entirety again. Living on Leigham Court Road, and of necessity having her bedroom overlooking it, made for a sleepless night last night1 |

The 135 is currently diverted due to a car accident at the Isle of Dogs Police Station stand. It's now going down East Ferry Road to/from Crossharbour and not serving the stops between Crossharbour and Mudchute Station.
The D7 should also be diverted although there is no status alert on TfL website right now.
(I'm now physically in the area - Manchester Road is still closed while I just keep hearing sirens from police cars/ambulances but no other vehicles passing through)
(An update: the alert for the D7 is finally on TfL - it's diverted via East Ferry Road, Limeharbour, Marsh Wall and Prestons Road)
