The more strikes there are the worse the financial situation for TFL becomes and raises the likelihood of more cuts being necessary. The last strikes in March are estimated to have cost TFL ?13m so the new batch that kicked off today will deepen the hole TFL finds itself in.

Exactly the same as the 12 is now, every 12 minutes.

It's more about where the 12 goes to and from now in central London.


As someone mentioned, late at night its not convenient to change at the elephant and some users feel safer getting a single bus all the way.


But think on, what will happen when normal working patterns resume in a short time, not enough buses is my opinion...

But signing the petition logs your objection..An email probably wont even get read by anyone with any influence.

I sometimes finish work at 10.30pm and as a lone woman in my 60's I really feel much safer getting on a bus at Oxford Circus by my work-place and getting off at Dulwich Library (ie:near home)

I wouldn't feel particularly safe having to wait for a connecting bus in Elephant and Castle, Camberwell etc etc at gone 11pm.

SOUTHWARK LABOUR PETITION AGAINST BUS CUTS PUT FORWARD BY LABOUR MAYOR KHAN - who did he put it forward to himself?


It seems the petition linked at the top of this thread got considerably more signatures than Southwark Labour's one.

For anyone interested a big chunk of last night’s Council Assembly meeting covered bus cuts and the number 12 specifically, starting with a couple of deputations and then moving on to a debate. Inevitably some bits on the “central govt or TfL” fault issue but importantly the council is very much against the cuts. The meeting’s available on the Southwark YouTube channel.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother.
