The 37 bus

[Guest]

What's going on with the route lately not just here in ED but at other points along the route as well.

[peterpepper]

I agree it's terrible. Have had to wait 25 mins for a bus on many an occasion in the last month or so..

[colin d.]

Totally agree. Wait ages then two in a row.

[Roundabout]

37 Route - Total road closure -Clapham Park Road ?top end by Church ? Road works till end of January 2015.

Turns off Acre Lane into Kings Ave ? Then Clapham South ? Back to Clapham Common and continues to Clapham Junction.

3 lots of road works,issues on route hence long delays then 3 buses at once often in opposite direction to way you wish to travel,does say on tfl allow upto 30 minutes extra for journey.

[Mark.P]

Frustrating. Waited more than half an hour for a bus, then 2 came at the same time. Why?

And such problems will be ongoing as long as the Council keep on doing unnecessary works along the route. Just look at what they have done with speed bumps, traffic calming measures, pavement widening etc along East Dulwich Grove alone. And now they want to do even more with their latest - Consultation on ?improving? the junction of East Dulwich Grove, Townley Road and Green Dale.

They are spending tax payer's like a drunken sailor.

[Countrlass22]

like the works done along east dulwich grove and approve new ones under consultation,not them thats issue was road closed herne hill and well suppsoe right clapham but thing is we want good roads pavements safe junctions so got be done.

think issue is 37 company not planning route properly need add more buses and space them out not 2 or 3 at once that is acording to them suppsoed to not occur.

heard them over speaker to driver turn round go back and driver decided speak up say no bus behind full need free up space between us.

the minority though.

guess one eneds look up works in clapham see how long going on for.doesnt help for now though

[Annasfield]

That diversion is ridiculous. Takes forever

[Jeremy]

Countrlass22... you know, your posts would be a lot easier to read if you didn't miss out so many words!

[EPB]

And a bit of punctuation would help, too.

[Mr&MrsJ]

Really?? Person posts about a bus route and pedants are picking on punctuation & missing words ... maybe person typing from a phone with no glasses to hand?... good grief... this forum never fails to amaze ..

I've always assumed countrlass to be someone for whom English is not a first language. I don't have a problem understanding her posts and she makes good points.

[JohnL]

English changes depending on the context - and whether you use an iPhone with autocorrect.

I can't read long paragraphs on boards though - need to keep it short and sweet IMHO.

[DulwichFox]

I can remember when the 37 Bus went from Peckham Bus Garage all the way to Richmond with one driver.

I do! It wasn't pointless nitpicking, I genuinely found it hard to understand. Anyway, her choice.

I thought the same.

Either way I don't have a problem with her posts as it's not difficult to work out what she means.

And she has lots of interesting things to say.

[EPB]

It's not impossible to work out what she means, but it certainly isn't easy. A pity, because as several people have said, she makes some good points. I wonder if she would accept an offer of some basic tuition from someone on the forum?

Spits tea.. What!!

[Longshanks]

Tea... Disgusting!

[Guest]

I can cope with the delays as can leave earlier, it's finding out that the bus won't be stopping or you won't be able to alight where you want that pees me off. Not fun at 1 in the morning.

[Proxima Centauri]

Has the 37 resumed stopping at Derwent Grove yet or do I need to go to Goose Green to catch it?

[Jkartel]

Someone needs to take the time to contact tfl or go ahead group who actually provide the service. Road works are complete, even on clapham park road. The service from go ahead at Peckham bus garage is appalling
