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.

    • Near the loos. Did this really need to happen?
    • Does anyone have any experience reducing the solar gain from their windows and roof lights?  E.g. using window film, low u-value glass and/or external shutters? What and who do you recommend?  How much did it cost and when?  We have a fairly standard south facing ED terrace with Velux windows (internal blinds only), a roof light, uPVC double-glazed sash windows and wooden double-glazed french door all fitted 2015ish. Trying to future proof the house against future hot summers without resorting to air con.
    • I think these kids are starting to come from the park into residential road I live of a road very close to the park and just had a kid knock on door stood with his tongue hanging out clearly trying to intimidate and his friend was laughing. Is there anything  I can do in terms of registering it with the police ?   edit - called 101 and gave a very detailed  description (sorry I’d have deleted the post  if I could !)
    • Well, he’s just turned up. 17 days.  very thin and seems a bit traumatised. Presumably been trapped somewhere.  I’d love to know where!
