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.

    • 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 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
