Waited over 40 minutes for a 63 this morning before giving up and getting a 363. 40 minutes! What's going on? I have noticed a sudden, severe deterioration in the frequency of the 63 - until a few weeks ago, I don't recall having to wait for more than ten minutes.


What's going on? Has Boris started selling off buses to pay for port and cigars or something?

Not sure where you pick up the 63, but they have just put in roadworks on Forest Hill road with no traffic signals so its a free for all trying to get through - especially for Buses who need all the space left.


Which leads to another point - what is going ON with the roads at the moment? With Gas and Water, there is no route I don't think out of the area which doesn't have one way lights/roadworks to negotiate around. Is November the designated time? I thought councils always had a massive blitz on this type of stuff at about March when they had to spend their budget for the year.

Sign on the bus stop (that I only noticed after sleeply waiting in the cold for 15 minutes) that the number 63 wasn't going up to Honor Oak at the weekend due to roadworks. Stated that restriction only in place until 17.00 Sunday afternoon but were only going from Peckham Rye this morning.
Me too James. I waited for 1 hour, after 30 minutes of waiting I called the London Transport helpline, they advised me the 63 buses were running but with severe delays. After 1 hour I jumped on another bus to find that the 63 buses had been running all along but were starting at Peckham Rye....arrrrrhhhhhh
Good ole Boris, getting rid of all the more than half empty buses. Now he just needs to get rid of the virtually empty 7am - 7pm and 24hr ridiculous bus lanes. Fixing all the roads now! What a good egg! It's going to be a pleassure to drive again soon. I wonder if suggesting rephasing the traffic lights in London to help traffic flow instead of clogging it would be a good idea! >:D

Please tell me you are kidding boos


Bad enough that it's not the half-empty buses you are talking about, but full on rush-hour waits - but if you seriously think cars can get that many people around the streets of London with any combination of traffic-light phasing you care to choose you are deluded

Well I'm glad someone's happy that public transport is going up the spout (Boosboss).


Why not abolish buses & bus lanes altogether (it costs money! Why should I pay taxes for empty buses blah blah etc.) and we can sit in our cars in absolute gridlock under clouds of smog getting nowhere. Great!

Btw thanks for telling me that Hibbs. Think I am going to complain to TfL - am fed up with their attitude towards paying passengers. They tell you nothing and serveral times recently I have been dumped off a bus when they have decided to terminate it randomly with no warning, apology or compensation.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
