There are phone apps for obtaining accurate bus running times, per bus stop, I use Bus Countdown, it tells me exactly how long before my bus will arrive so I can take alternate bus routes if necessary.


The 176 bus is fairly regular - why not get the previous scheduled bus ?

I thought this was a joke thread?


The only buses that appear on time are early in the morning (before 7am). Unfortunately, London has other traffic on the roads for most parts of the day and hence you get delays (surprise surprise).


As KidKruger said, there are internet and smartphone applications that let you know when the next bus will arrive. Just plan ahead a little ...

The best way is to text the number on the bus stop with the code for that actual bus stop.


I tried a few apps but never found them 100% but this always seems to be pretty accurate.


I text it before I leave the house as takes me 5 mins to walk there and then I don't waste time or miss my bus.

Let me down once when it said the first 37 was in about twenty five minutes time .... luckily I didn't do as another person at the same stop did who'd also looked via the app and start walking, as one actually turned up in about two minutes ....


But usually they're great. Bus time apps not the 37 obviously :)

People complain about the 176 being a tad late, I'd vote for the 197 which is probably the second worst bus in ED after the P13 for reliability. I waited 30 mins a couple of weeks ago for a bus from Peckham Bus Station on a Thursday afternoon. It's timetabled to be every 12 minutes.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
