I know there are posts relating to this - but I don't believe the diversion information is communicated that well on each bus stop. Basically I wouldn't bother waiting for a bus around East Dulwich Station/BlackBird Bakery or outside Mark & Son (unless it's a P13).


I was just getting a paper from the newsagent and there are people waiting at all of these stops because it's unclear about the current diversion (James Barber mentions this is an earlier post, but if you don't read the Forum then you wouldn't know). The problem is if you use a Bus Checker app it will show buses as due and also the dot matrix screens are displaying buses as due. There is a small poster on some of the timetables (not all) but people aren't noticing it (mainly because behaviour has changed these days, and written timetables are checked less frequently than dot matrix screens or apps). Really it would have been better to put a 'Bus Not In Use' cover over the actual Bus Stop but I guess because the P13 is still serving those stops that would be untrue. Anyway, just a heads up as so many people are waiting at these stops unaware of this.

Given the technology, they really should show a message on the bus checker display, and update the info the phone apps use. It wouldn't exactly be hard for them to do, given the schedule comes from the bus company themselves anyway.


That said, I often walk past bus stops where there is clearly a "not in use" sign displayed, and have to tell people. We all often catch buses in a daze, as it's such a familiar activity - lol

I also noticed when I waited for a bus outside North Cross Road earlier that the 176, 185 etc are showing 20 mins on the countdown board. What happens is when the bus goes on diversion, the GPS no longer tracks the bus until it's back on route at Goose Green.

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..
