I'm fed up with buses suddenly, mid-journey, announcing the bus will terminate before the destination displayed on the front. Camberwell seems to be the main culprit.


I understand the drivers may have completed their shifts before their final destination because of traffic problems.


However, if you catch the number 40 from Aldgate after 11pm, or on route at London Bridge etc, and it states Dulwich Plough, to announce the destination is changing puts women in particular at such a late hour in potential danger.


I was again, I couldn't put a number on the amount of times, kicked off at Camberwell last night around 12.30am despite boarding the bus supposedly for Dulwich Plough. At Camberwell I received unwelcome attention from a few well-oiled lotharios declaring their affections with can in hand (they haven't seen me first thing in the morning!)


If I board a bus with a display announcing it is terminating at Dulwich Plough I expect it to follow that route, not arbitrarily terminate beforehand.


Bus companies owe passengers a duty of care.


Sort out your schedules

Write to TfL who are responsible for bus franchising in London


Write to your MP and ask them to write to the Transport Secretary as government was repsonsible for the privitisation of bus services.


More that do it the more likely things will change


Could be worse, could be Southern....

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
