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.

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond.

    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
