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.

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
