I would suggest saving the TFL live bus departures website page to your phone (if you have a smartphone). I have been using it for months and it is surprisingly acurate. It and means you can time your journeys to coincide with bus times or make other arrangments if a bus is not due for a while. You can also save a list of bus stops you regularly use so you are able to quickly check when a bus is due.

People who complain about buses arriving a few minutes late clearly have not experienced bus travel outside London. Even just into suburban Surrey buses run once an hour and sometimes not on Sundays.


We have three buses running down LL towards Camberwell and it's very unusual to have to wait more than five minutes for one of these. What is more, London bus stops have so much more information about their routes. Frankly we don't know how lucky we are.

E-dealer, I am certainly no fan of that poseur Boris - far from it. In fact the improvements to the London buses were brought in not by Boris but by his Labour predecessor, Cuddly Ken, who should receive due credit for this achievement.


If Boris ends up running the country, Gawd help us!

    • Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.    
    • I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done. 
    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
