40 Bus Route

[Nick Taylor]

Has a final decision been made on rerouting the 40 to Clerkenwell ??

[mimifantasia87]

63 goes to clerkenwell ....

[Nick Taylor]

yes I know but TFL were considering changing the 40 to go to Clerkenwell rather than Aldgate

[El Presidente]

its happening next month

[singalto]

Unfortunately yes..

This is terrible news.

So what is the alternative?

78 from Peckham Rye seems to be best alternative, that I can see, or change to the 35 at Elephant, or before?

[BrandNewGuy]

Changing at Elephant is probably the quickest option. 176, 40 or 12 to Elephant, then 35 or 133 to London Bridge and the City.

Or if you can walk to the corner of East Dulwich Road and Peckham Rye you can catch the 343 to London Bridge

I'd recommend 40 users change to the 35 at Camberwell Green. The service isn't usually too full to that point. If you change at E&C it'll be rammed

[nxjen]

but a lot of people get off at the Elephant to change buses or to change onto the underground or overground trains so it empties out considerably.

The 35 will be getting extra buses when the changes are implemented to take on the passengers from the 40.

However, I suspect those less able to use buses will resort to cabs to get to Guy's instead which is a shame when public transport should be accessible to all considering we lose a bus route to where Southwark Council is based, plus the hospital.
