Does anyone have any idea what the bus-stop round the corner from the Bishop (Crawthew Grove) is actually for?

Buses don't go down there, to my knowledge never have, and probably never will.

(Mainly due to the usually fantastic parking on the corner a little way up..!)


Maybe the plan the bus-stop planters were reading was upside down...?

It was the last stop for buses going only as far as the beginning of Lordship Lane. Once they had unloaded their passengers the bus would drive around the corner and come to a halt at another otherwise "dead" bus stop behind the EDT before starting the journey again in the other direction.

Ah, that would make a certain kind of sense.

Thanks Jah Lush.

But i still think the bus planning division were wildely optimistic about their chances of getting their busses round that corner without incident... It would be bits of 4x4 bumper for days!

(Also a bus load of people being disgorged right on top of the bins from the Bishop, especially in summer - nice!)

JL.

Confusion returning...

The bus stop im banging on about must be less than 10-15 years old.

Looks fairly newish, hence my confusion...

(Unless there's some form of wired time-lapse council thing about re-newing bus-stops that aren't in use anymore? Wouldn't suprise me. Probably a once a year thing to keep their bus-stop budgets topped up?)

one thing that always amuses me at bus stops is watching all the bods standing staring aimlessly in the direction the bus is going to come,as if they will be able to wish their bus to come quicker,meanwhile a constant stream of half empty buses goes in the other direction.me i prefer the casual approach find a comfortable spot and light my magic cigarette,never fails a bus always appears after a couple of drags,of course all my fellow passengers must think i,m a courteous chap as i let them all board before me,little do they know i,m trying to dispose of my b and h in record time rather than waste it.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area
