Ah.. that would explain why there were none to be seen at The Plough! 176 when it got to the Plough was rammed full... had to get the diverted 363 to E&C and tube it in. Not too bad a journey all things considered.

That seems to be the case, the bus started there this morning. Top tip - don't wait at ED station bus stop, get on at Grove Vale, it will be full in the 100m to ED station.

Got the No 40 to E&C this morning - only took 20 mins. Nice man got up and gave me his seat! There are plusses in getting older! Then got No 12 to Oxford circus - big hold up on Whitehall and Trafalgar square so had to get off and walk for a bit before getting another bus to work. About an hour and twenty in total
Ditto the futility of trying to get on the 176 from Lordship Lane. Crowds of people at every stop. I walked as far as the Harveste, and decided there wasn't a chance. So now I'm on the 363 to Elephant where I plan to get a tube. In comparison to the 176 this one cruised half empty down Barry Road.

Good avo peeps,



I know there were some 40s running towards town earlier this morning (as my flatmate saw them), though I didn't see any later on in the morning when I was looking to head in (9:30 onwards), and I was out on the rode for a fair amount of time.


Just wondering if anyone knows if they're running in the other direction for the way home? If so, then I can make my way to London Bridge to catch one for the way home (trains still not running) but if not then I'll need an alternate route.



Thanks - please keep us updated if you hear or see anything and I'll do likewise.

    • Sue, Sue, Sue Yes the bus stop at what was The Kings Arms I believe remains closed,  However the stops at the Heaton Arms (no youngster here) is open. Easiest way is a 63 or 363 to Peckham Hill street and change for the 78 which takes you directly to the front door or as good as.   
    • I need to go to Asda in the Old Kent Road tomorrow. Theoretically I can get a 78 or 363 bus, but it looks as if the bus stop at East Dulwich Road/Peckham Rye may be closed. I don't know why, but I assume it may be due to gas or water works. Does anybody know if it is just this bus stop, or are other bus stops (or the routes) affected?  I don't want to get a nasty surprise tomorrow, as I have an appointment, so it's time critical.
    • Hi, Have you tried reaching out to breed-specific rescue groups or shelters? Sadly, Cavapoos are one of the most exploited breeds in the UK due to their popularity, so due diligence is crucial. Cavapoos do occasionally pop up for adoption, especially puppies. TWB x
