Bus Strike


lparsons

Recommended Posts

63 and 363 are both operated by London Central, a subdivision of Go Ahead who are on the list to strike.


40 (Abellio), 176 (Arriva) and 185 (also London Central) are also set to be affected.


I'm not clear on what proportion of drivers are UNITE members, but I guess forewarned is forearmed...

I'm at the Honor Oak start/end of the 63 and am anticipating that they both wont be available :(

Trains are operating tomorrow. Buses is a case of checking Countdown before setting off. You may find a resemblance of a bus service on some of the affected routes during one part of the day as non-union drivers are rostered on, but when their shift ends, it may be out of service.


London Overground from Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Forest Hill or HOP will accept bus passengers over reasonable routes.

363 running about every 15 mins when I caught it, no 63 at all, so bus was full by time it got to east Dulwich road/Peckham rye..also due to more people getting trains I was barely just able to get on train at Peckham rye, it was like the hunger games there this morning ! ;)

Dun, what route did you take. I'd do that a lot more in the summer if it only took me 40 mins to Victoria. I live on Peckham Rye.


By the time i walk to Peckham Rye staion, wait for a train and get into Victoria a 40 minute walk on a bright morning sounds great.

Not the case for East Dulwish/Peckham Rye trains which terminate at London Bridge - just the through trains which normally use platforms 1-6.

I would avoid LB if possible today too


"A signalling problem at London Bridge is causing delays of up to 30 minutes to Southern and Thameslink services to and from the station. There is no firm estimate yet of how long disruption will last but it is likely to continue until at least 15:00.

    • You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
    • But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
