Having waited 1/2hr for a 484, then had the driver refuse to open the backdoors to let me on with bugglet in the buggy, luckily there was another mum at the same stop so with group effort on the fuss front he did finally let us on.


Another lady on the bus told us his bad mood + the long wait was due to him clipping a car round the corner from our stop (don't get why other 484's didn't get by though as the 343's seemed to be running ok!).


Doesn't look good for when I have to rely on this bus to & from work in a couple of months :(

I've had a driver (a woman driver, even!) not let me on with a buggy at all. She said there was no room, but there clearly was. I contacted TFL about it. They said they take complaints very seriously. To make a formal complaint, make a note of the time, the bus route and location of the stop, and driver no. if possible.
Oooh, thanks for reminding me - made sure I took a photo of the contact info so I could do an email! Can't believe how narrow the walkway is between getting on and the buggy bit... am sure Mum's and children must be one of the groups that keeps routes like this going so deserve better!

The fact that my husband and kids are away (for a whole week - yippee!!), I had no reason at all to be up this morning, yet I was wide awake at 6am. I blame being pregnant... is the baby's way of reminding me that I'll never rest again?!


On the plus side, I'm off to Bluewater for a day's shopping :)

Thanks ladies - I "came out" on the winter baby club thread, kind of forgot that most of you wouldn't read that one! Yes, number 3 is due January. I'm officially a nutter.


I have had a lovely day, spent money I don't have at Bluewater and just back from a manicure. This is the life :)

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
