I feel it to be my turn to report on my journey to work yesterday... Having been prepared for a long wait I arrived at a bus stop on Lordship Lane, along with many other people many of whom I assumed were not the usual bussing crowd. I waited over an hour for any bus that would get me near to the river, in that time plenty of 185s (I know I was shocked too!), 176s and P13s came... and went... completely full up. I think I counted a total of 21 buses in this time (yes bored as I was). I was lead to believe that the 40s were running but no sign of them (assumed they were starting from somewhere else but would have been nice to have had them from the plough to ease the queues all along the way) What a nice lady who kept circulating through the crowd offering hot coffee and lattes and to the nice friendly bunch who kept me amused with comments about the recycling people managing to do a collection on a day like it was when they cant do it on normal days... Having resigned myself to the thought this was a ridiculous hope that I would get anywhere I decided to find an alternative route and made my way up to Barry Road. Risking me neck... I exaggerate not! From there I thought if I could get any bus to Peckham I'd be sorted. Strange enough (as mentioned in other posts) no 12s were running from that part but the 363 was on a nice diversion and picked us us. And onwards to Peckham I went getting quite close with the other passengers on a busy bus (something I'd rather like to forget). Arriving in Peckham I risked me life trying to steadily make my way through the wonderfully neglected pavements on the main road avoiding slipping and sliding like those around me making way to a bus stop. It was a long and painful activity! After a bit of a wait (nothing in comparison to my earlier cold and wet wait. Picked up a 12 and slowly got over to Westminster going through Camberwell where again I saw plenty of 185s and 176s. Almost at my intended destination when I received a call from my office saying that if I was really having trouble getting in then I may as well go home... haha not a chance after all this! And so, I arrived at my destination with only a 10 minute walk, in normal circumstances, in front of me. 10 minutes? 10 minutes! More like half an hour - how nice of Westminster to clear the walk ways. After battling past parliament and side streets I slid my way up the path and into work. Total travel time... 3 hours :)) Boss decided, after my regular updates of my journey, that it would probably be advisable to close the office early so that we would all get home at a reasonable time. Caught the 12 back within minutes of arriving at the stop, arrived in Camberwell 20mins later and jumped on a 176 very quickly... got home in 45 mins in total (better than most days!). Have to say in all my journeying not once did I see a 40... I am sure they existed but well... u know...
