The more strikes there are the worse the financial situation for TFL becomes and raises the likelihood of more cuts being necessary. The last strikes in March are estimated to have cost TFL ?13m so the new batch that kicked off today will deepen the hole TFL finds itself in.

Exactly the same as the 12 is now, every 12 minutes.

It's more about where the 12 goes to and from now in central London.


As someone mentioned, late at night its not convenient to change at the elephant and some users feel safer getting a single bus all the way.


But think on, what will happen when normal working patterns resume in a short time, not enough buses is my opinion...

But signing the petition logs your objection..An email probably wont even get read by anyone with any influence.

I sometimes finish work at 10.30pm and as a lone woman in my 60's I really feel much safer getting on a bus at Oxford Circus by my work-place and getting off at Dulwich Library (ie:near home)

I wouldn't feel particularly safe having to wait for a connecting bus in Elephant and Castle, Camberwell etc etc at gone 11pm.

SOUTHWARK LABOUR PETITION AGAINST BUS CUTS PUT FORWARD BY LABOUR MAYOR KHAN - who did he put it forward to himself?


It seems the petition linked at the top of this thread got considerably more signatures than Southwark Labour's one.

  • 4 weeks later...
For anyone interested a big chunk of last night’s Council Assembly meeting covered bus cuts and the number 12 specifically, starting with a couple of deputations and then moving on to a debate. Inevitably some bits on the “central govt or TfL” fault issue but importantly the council is very much against the cuts. The meeting’s available on the Southwark YouTube channel.

    • For clarity,  since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with  young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining  the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion. For all you know or anyone, if a person has taken a dump might have been unwell, couldn’t find toilet in time.. numerous reasons - mental health problems, homeless whatever. Not pleasant I agree, but get a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it. We all live in the same community and in this heat with kids about, would have thought plus flies etc - do it if you live on the same street or area / people just walk past I assume and god knows how long council would take to come.  Says nothing about human nature - not my problem… seems to be the way of the world in towns these days.   
    • I don't think it's just dog-owners who are half-wits. An actual human has taken a dump in a newspaper and left it lying on CP Road. Flies are having a field day. I ought to tell the council but pity the poor person sent to clean it up. 
    • In the proud spirit of stating the bleeding obvious (!) here is some more RSPCA advice re dogs in hot cars and a downloadable leaflet which contains emergency first aid for heatstroke: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/dogsinhotcars https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/1494939/7712578/Dogs In Hot Cars Leaflet.pdf/ade4c043-90ee-7091-c97f-02f047f7b4b3
    • What exactly is the point of having a go at someone who is trying to help and spread useful information? Is the heat getting to people? What does it matter what someone calls dogs?
