P13 (my chances of getting on it at 8:30am on a weekday)


Recommended Posts

I?ve not been on a bus since the whole COVID stuff started, but I have to start commuting to work again next week. What chance have I got of getting on a P13 at around 8:30am on a weekday? Are only a limited number of people allowed on?

The P13 is currently running an enhanced service of every 12 minutes instead of every 15 until 7pm on weekdays, this is to ensure there's enough capacity for social distancing.


I was on the P13 and the most there was on there was four passengers.

There are a lot more secondary schools increasing pupil numbers next week with staggered start times so expect it to get busier.

Also driving in town yesterday Park Lane has been reduced to single lane of traffic with a bus lane and hard cycle lane and a few other roads looked to be being prepared I think as traffic slowly increases there?s going to be a lot of gridlock

The single deck buses might have increased the number of people allowed to travel.


I've been travelling on the 42 bus for the past couple of weeks where numbers have been restricted to 10.


Suddenly changed this morning to 20. Probably because of increased numbers of shops opening on Monday.

It's 8 for single dockers with one door.

10 for double door single dockers.

20 for double deckers

    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer. 
    • Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
