This is about the third time the A23 has been completely shut between
Streatham Hill and Brixton Hill in the last couple of years and there's
never been any news about what happened.

Anyone here on that bus, perchance?

What time are we talking about? For once, I didn't go down to Streatham
last night - I often do on a Tuesday - but there was no sign of anything
this morning.

Husband, who *did* go down into Streatham from Brixton (in the car) at
about 9.00 pm, and returned at about 10.30, said nothing, and although
he would normally go via King's Avenue and out on to Streatham High Road
at Streatham Hill Station, that route gets very blocked when there is a
problem on the A23.
