Travel - 176 & 63 bus TODAY Blackfriars Road/The Cut & Waterloo Rd disruption


Recommended Posts

Major pain getting home tonight


Blackfriar's road was shut from Farringdon to Southwark Tube, took an age to be diverted around Waterloo and then the bus terninated at Peckham Library...


Nice


Then wait for another bus, making an at best 60 minute journey last 90+ mins


That's OK if you have Jeremy Clarkson to look forward to - not so great if you need to get home to the wife and kiddies

'oh well never mind the shooting just the inconvenience to commuters'


i wasn't trying to down play the seriousness of a shooting. Sorry if it came across like that


last time i mentioned travel disruption in the 'general' forum because of a fire in a camberwell estate (in which people died) the msg got 'lounged'. So to keep on topic (i.e. transport) i didn't want emphasise the shooting bit....


I also agree you can walk - but i thought it would be useful to those who maybe can't walk or could easily take an alternative route..


it was just meant to be a helpful post for those travelling home yesterday.

R&A


The message was a big help to me yesterday as well - thanks R&A - the road was still closed at 6:30 so I popped across to Waterloo and my journey time wasn't affected at all really


The bus driver was at pains to point out to everyone on the south side of Blackfriars bridge about the problems and that the bus would be diverting so anyone who wanted to get off now should get off now - and only when the bus turned down towards Waterloo did everyone look up and start shouting at the poor fella. You can lead a horse to water etc...

R&A my walking comment wasn't directed at you. It's helpful to know when there are travel problems.

My comment was more about those who complain such events. It happens, no point getting grrr over the things you have no control over,

Don't be put off by past responses on other threads. You did good here :))

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition
