Sinkhole on Perry Vale

Opened up in middle of the road outside the station about 5 minutes ago and traffic is already building up. Avoid the area if your driving about.

Ugh. Any pictures? I wonder how big it is… haven’t seen anything on Twitter yet. Perhaps related to the recent sinkholes under the train lines?

Beat me to it.

On my phone and can’t attach photos (I think?). Had a peak and it’s about 10ft deep and can’t see any pipes or leaks

Anyway the road is fully shut now, reminds me of when city walk apartments were being built. Kick about in the road later anyone?

Ross can pedestrians still access the station via Perryvale? Thanks

This is all I can find thus far…

Yep no issues with pedestrian access whatsoever

Road closed from the turnoff above to the one way before All Inn One

Ugh… looks messy!

Flippin heck. I wonder if it’s the same sewer that affected the track?

Ugh, this is my road. Potentially the holiest road in South London, and not in a spiritual sense.

Bets on how long it’ll take Southern to use this as an excuse for trains not running…?!

Handily, they are already on strike today and tomorrow (although FH doesn’t seem to be affected… yet).

Ah yes, the bi-monthly strike shenanigans! There were a few cancellations to LB trains this morning, and Overground services were delayed as a result of “congestion”. Fun and games.

I must have lucked out… all was fine with my 06.52… but that is shockingly early…

Isn’t that about where I found the old SE23.life flyer on the lamp post? And where @RachaelDunlop took it down yesterday? Suspicious.
