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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
