After the reduction in service on Route 12 recently, since Sunday 11th August until November 9th the service will only operate between Whitehall Horseguards Parade and Dulwich Library only, except between midnight and 6am where it'll run to Oxford Circus.


The bus is also on diversion from St Thomas Hospital to Whitehall via Victoria Embankment.

This is a bloody joke! don't they think anyone in our area needs to travel to the west end for work daily and perhaps for financial reasons or others (one friend since the london terror attacks years ago refuses to use the tube, another gets claustrophobic) do not use trains and tubes.

Why wasn't this widely publicised?

And who can we complain to?

In a tube strike this is the only other option I have to get to work without many changes.

The closure is due to the installation of pedestrian protection measures on Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street. In light of terrorist attacks in the area this seems pretty important. Perhaps you can find another way to get to the West End. 176 gets quite close.

Exactly - it is the glacial pace of workmen in the UK employed by the State (at council or national level) which is the issue here. E.g. the closure of Crystal Palace Road for close to a month to achieve (I would guess when we see the finished job) a minimal change. Or the well-over-a-year to reimagine the Lewisham roundabout. When I travel abroad I can be held up by a mile long section of roadworks on the way down south, to find the whole thing complete a fortnight later on my return. In the UK we would be seeing 18 month warnings about delays.

Rye Lane was finished way ahead of schedule so maybe this will be (they may estimate worst case)


Our cladding is another story LOL (sorry off topic).

Whitehall is beyond Westminster Bridge.

It's on diversion via another bridge so bus is probably to knackered by the time it gets to Whitehall

According to TFL it terminates BEFORE Westminster Bridge.


"BRIDGE STREET, SW1: Buses are diverted until 05:00 Saturday 9 November due to borough works on Bridge Street. Route 12 starts and terminates at St Thomas Hospital/County Hall daily between 06:00 and 23:59."

Not from what I saw, buses were blinded for Whitehall on Tuesday.

      Porch Pirate on Underhill Road

      By Rockets · Posted

      Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
