For anyone waiting on the 197 to arrive, as we did yesterday for 45 minutes, its occasionally diverted to avoid FH due to the works. so only every 3rd or 4th service comes through FH. Its just a pity that they don't have this notice on bustops so that people can go to stops further up the hill. Its also being diverted in the other direction up Sydenham Hill on the same basis. If you want to catch it going north its best to wait at the stops beyond the Triangle.

I agree that works need to be at reasonable hours but all stops were pulled out for London Road so why not here. Its not acceptable that nothing seems to be happening although I suspect that due to the number of works going on throughout south London they might be a bit stretched with personnel and have to phase the works accordingly.

I no longer anticipate reasonable behaviour from stressed drivers!. There was a stand off here the other day with two drivers going in opposite directions refusing to budge and instead sitting chatting on their mobiles instead of trying to resolve the situation. This held up traffic for about half an hour with lots of reckless turning the car aaround in tight spaces and narrowly missing pedestrians on the pavement.
