Bus Routes 40 and 12

[KazBar]

Does anybody have an update when Bus Routes 40 and 12 will run again from / to Dulwich Plough?

Nothing on the tfl website indicating disruption but buses 12 and 40 aren't showing up when searching for next bus at the plough stop so I assume the disruption isn't showing (yet) 

Joy of cold winter days and additional changes to get anywhere !

To the mayor of London, every journey matters (unless you live in East Dulwich and need to use a 12 or 40) 

In the past they turned the 12 around using the goose green roundabout, why don't they do it now ?

I noticed a row of 40 buses waiting on Grove Vale this morning, not sure why. No disruption noted on TfL go app.

The southern end of Friern Road that the buses use to turn around for the start of the route has been closed whilst Thames Water repair a leak. The TfL Go app shows the 12 as yellow indicating disruption but says it is due to work in Whitehall.

I can only suspect 40s are turning around at the goose green roundabout.

Thete was a road closed sign on Friern Road the other day so suspect that is the cause, but no roadworks showing on the roadworks map.

Back to normal today

While the https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/status/? was worse than useless.
