Too true Brian. Our family call it the "community bus". And yesterday I took the 356 at 8:15am to connect with the P4! It is such a joy to have a timetabled service as our local route - it reminds me of growing up in the countryside. It is the only London bus service where I say "thank you driver" when I alight...and 8/10 they nod/grunt an acknowledgment. Viva the 356!
