12 curtailed to Whitehall until November


Recommended Posts

After the reduction in service on Route 12 recently, since Sunday 11th August until November 9th the service will only operate between Whitehall Horseguards Parade and Dulwich Library only, except between midnight and 6am where it'll run to Oxford Circus.


The bus is also on diversion from St Thomas Hospital to Whitehall via Victoria Embankment.

This is a bloody joke! don't they think anyone in our area needs to travel to the west end for work daily and perhaps for financial reasons or others (one friend since the london terror attacks years ago refuses to use the tube, another gets claustrophobic) do not use trains and tubes.

Why wasn't this widely publicised?

And who can we complain to?

In a tube strike this is the only other option I have to get to work without many changes.

The closure is due to the installation of pedestrian protection measures on Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street. In light of terrorist attacks in the area this seems pretty important. Perhaps you can find another way to get to the West End. 176 gets quite close.

Exactly - it is the glacial pace of workmen in the UK employed by the State (at council or national level) which is the issue here. E.g. the closure of Crystal Palace Road for close to a month to achieve (I would guess when we see the finished job) a minimal change. Or the well-over-a-year to reimagine the Lewisham roundabout. When I travel abroad I can be held up by a mile long section of roadworks on the way down south, to find the whole thing complete a fortnight later on my return. In the UK we would be seeing 18 month warnings about delays.

Rye Lane was finished way ahead of schedule so maybe this will be (they may estimate worst case)


Our cladding is another story LOL (sorry off topic).

Whitehall is beyond Westminster Bridge.

It's on diversion via another bridge so bus is probably to knackered by the time it gets to Whitehall

According to TFL it terminates BEFORE Westminster Bridge.


"BRIDGE STREET, SW1: Buses are diverted until 05:00 Saturday 9 November due to borough works on Bridge Street. Route 12 starts and terminates at St Thomas Hospital/County Hall daily between 06:00 and 23:59."

Not from what I saw, buses were blinded for Whitehall on Tuesday.
