Travel - 176 & 63 bus TODAY Blackfriars Road/The Cut & Waterloo Rd disruption


Recommended Posts

Major pain getting home tonight


Blackfriar's road was shut from Farringdon to Southwark Tube, took an age to be diverted around Waterloo and then the bus terninated at Peckham Library...


Nice


Then wait for another bus, making an at best 60 minute journey last 90+ mins


That's OK if you have Jeremy Clarkson to look forward to - not so great if you need to get home to the wife and kiddies

'oh well never mind the shooting just the inconvenience to commuters'


i wasn't trying to down play the seriousness of a shooting. Sorry if it came across like that


last time i mentioned travel disruption in the 'general' forum because of a fire in a camberwell estate (in which people died) the msg got 'lounged'. So to keep on topic (i.e. transport) i didn't want emphasise the shooting bit....


I also agree you can walk - but i thought it would be useful to those who maybe can't walk or could easily take an alternative route..


it was just meant to be a helpful post for those travelling home yesterday.

R&A


The message was a big help to me yesterday as well - thanks R&A - the road was still closed at 6:30 so I popped across to Waterloo and my journey time wasn't affected at all really


The bus driver was at pains to point out to everyone on the south side of Blackfriars bridge about the problems and that the bus would be diverting so anyone who wanted to get off now should get off now - and only when the bus turned down towards Waterloo did everyone look up and start shouting at the poor fella. You can lead a horse to water etc...

R&A my walking comment wasn't directed at you. It's helpful to know when there are travel problems.

My comment was more about those who complain such events. It happens, no point getting grrr over the things you have no control over,

Don't be put off by past responses on other threads. You did good here :))

    • Absolutely! If the "Non-crime hate speech" was to be handled by the PCSO's, that would free up the "real police" to handle serious crime such as muggings, theft, drugs, rape, violence etc ,etc, etc, etc. The "real police" shouldn't was precious time having a cuppa with the concerned law-abiding citizens. They should be out there fighting real crime.
    • Landells Road comes under the Dulwich Hill SNT, At their last meeting at Christ Church, car thefts were one to the statistics discussed. The problem is that everyone assumes that the police are useless, but so much crime goes unreported it sways the statistics and the wrong impression is given that the area has a low crime rate. It is known that certain roads are targeted for different reasons theft from cars, theft of cars, burglary etc Information given gets built up - Police can identify times of day, type pf vehicle etc and I have known them to 'stake out' in unmarked vehicles of an area which had an increase of incidents/criminal activity. There should be a cuppa with a coppa meeting at Christ Church on 25th November at 11 am. Dulwich Hill SNT will post details on EDF. There is also the quarterly evening  meeting in the first week of December . I will post date on here.
    • Some newspapers, such as The Times, organise deliveries throughout most of the UK. They obviously use subcontractors and I would rate their service as 9 out of 10. We used them previously before switching to Budgens on Half Moon Lane.  
    • I understand the possible illegal comments but some of these don’t justify the time and effort  that the police putting into these especially when I hear the resources are not there to investigate phone theft and muggings in the area that must be traumatizing for thoses involved, also I should of clarified i was saying all demos including far right and left
