No 12 bus Route


Recommended Posts

the 12 service has been so poor this week and the drivers are so eratic when they drive! TFL have been contacted! all week ive been waiting for ages on barry road at 6.30 AM for the 12 to come. at least 20 mins wait! and the 197 is a right off! even a turtle moves faster! oh and the travel fairs will probably increase again next month. yay!

With LL closed off from the Plough to CPR, all 5 routes are using Barry Road which means it is difficult in places for 2 buses to pass each other so traffic is building up. One advantage is that you can stop any of the routes as 176,185 and 40s will turn up ED Road after they go down Barry. Work expected to last 2 days,

My husband takes the 12 to central London from Peckham and says there are road works at Parliament so the 12 is either ending at Westminster Bridge/Parliament or trying to take the diversion around. He said when it took the diversion, it was just sat in traffic, not moving for 15 minutes. He has also mentioned that electronic outlets for this info are not updated to reflect this (i.e. google maps, waze, etc). Not sure how long the works will be, but if it's a huge delay there, it's bound to affect our area both coming and going.

TFL really should put notices on bus stops when a particular bus has temporarily changed its route and is not stopping there.


I only found out when I eventually used the Bus Countdown app on my phone to see when the next 12 was, and what came up was a long list of other buses but no 12s.


When I clicked on 12 specifically, I just got a blank page :(


I'd had a long long day trekking around Oxford Street and I really could have done without this at the end of it :(


I only went for the 12 in the first place to save me further trekking up to Tottenham Court Road to get the 176 (I avoid the underground wherever possible) but then I had to (and had to wait ages for that, as well, grrrr).

I took a 12 last week:it stopped at the stop just past the IWM and we were all told to get off. The bus we then got on stopped at St Thomas?s hospital, then went on diversion, got stuck in traffic but wouldn?t let us off . The next stop was Piccadilly. We were not warned about the diversion. I had got on the 12 at 10.45 and reached Trafalgar Square at 12.55!

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
