OK, ignore that, they kicked everyone off at the gardens.

My journey didnt seem so bad - from westminster to elephant & castle to camberwell green where most buses were terminating, instead of standing there like the many other lemons (sorry but really if you see so many people gathered at a bus stop do you really think you're going to get on the next bus that is going to come along?) I chose to walk home, yes I said walk! ::o instead of tackling Demark Hill/Dog Kennel Hill went through to peckham, up the back streets and home in about an hour and a half (taking the slipping and sliding on the main roads into consideration it's none too bad). Noticing a fair number of buses that have come down dog kennel hill all quite empty... where did all the people go?

Bendy bus skidded starting journey from Etherow St and has been blocking Barry Rd both ways since 4 pm.

Big up for the sole Bus driver who has taken it upon himself to direct traffic at junction of Goodrich .

Surface of Barry Rd seems to be mixture of slush and ice.

Watched several vans with spinning wheels.

Can I clarify - I am not taking the number 12. I'm going to take the 176 from Aldwych to ED. Is there anyone who can give me some info on whether this route is running please.

I took the Victoria line down to Brixton, hopped on a 37 (coming every 6 minutes according to counter on stop) to North Dulwich station (which took slightly longer than usual - about 15 minutes) and walked from there up Court Lane to LL. The traffic was crawling through the village and cars on LL/South Circular were moving about 10ft every other minute if they were lucky. Saw 4 buses southbound - 2 terminating at Dulwich Library, 2 apparently going to Victoria/TCR respectively but not moving much. Didn't see any northbound buses on that stretch at all.

    • They're a fringe party with totally leftfield policies. No one actually wants them in government and by the time of the next general election everyone will see them for who they are.    Their leader even offered a hypnotherapy session to a lady to increase the size of her breasts.  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/zack-polanski-green-party-hypnotherapy-b2819071.html They are total cranks, just like Reform.   
    • What do you base those statements on?
    • I suppose I'd assume that Councillor McCash, who is, as I recall, a self-confessed revolutionary Marxist, had hoped to take Southwark Labour down his chosen route - when he lost his leadership bid he must then have been looking for a party which shared his ultra-left views (ultra-left at least in the light of Starmer's interpretation of socialism). The Greens, for him, clearly fit that role. After that his timing was all about benefiting his chosen (new) party - at least he didn't stand for Labour and then defect giving the Greens an unexpected 3 year seat. As someone who doesn't share the wings of his political position I don't wish him well (politically) - but neither do I wish him ill as a 'punishment' for his defection.  
    • Agree with all the sentiments above. Hope it doesn't change too much and above all I really hope it stays independent and avoids becoming the same as all the chain pubs in the area.
