That DAMNED machine!!! Does anyone else find it a ridiculous pain in the morning? My average waiting time at the moment is about 30 minutes, and that is after A mini hike towards Forest Hill in order to ensure I can get squeezed on. At the risk of sounding like a real whinger, I am also finding that it often turfs me off at Vauxhall claiming that it had ALWAYS SAID ON THE FRONT that it was terminating there. Grrrrr! I am a pretty chirpy person generally, but really; It drives me crazy some days!


RANT OVER

Lotty, this type of situation requires only one course of action I'm afraid.


On alighting the bus at the end of the line the driver will be looking in his mirror to make sure all the passengers leave the bus. This will give you ample opportunity to creep up to his right hand window and deposit a small stink bomb. When I was at school we had a partially sighted kid who would take ages counting out his fare. The bus driver would often make fun of him so me and my partners in crime lobbed a firework into his cab to keep him company.


Good luck.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who gets frustrated at numerous buses that display a destination then terminate halfway!


Best thing to do is to complain first to driver (although many of the decisions are out of his/her hands), then to the respective bus company and sending a copy to the Mayor's office and TFL.


I have'nt had a problem yet with 185 terminating early, as quite new to the area, but in North London where i used to live, there was constant terminations, all of which i made strong complaints about.


If one does'nt complain or make a fuss about things, then no-one ver listens and nothing gets done.....so my advice, put pen to paper and complain.

You are very lucky Poppy that you do not seem to have had many bad experiences on this route.


My friend was abused and used by schoolkids on this route and even her mobile trolley wasn't a sufficient defence!:X


So count yer blessings is what I say(!)

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
