I agree with rbmartin - when it's good, it's very, very good, but when it's bad, it's horrid!

Sometimes that's not its fault e.g. traffic jams on south circ along the Dulwich playing field, but sometimes it is e.g. terminating at Loughborough Junction (especially when the bus you got on said Brixton and it changes halfway through) and irregular gaps in service e.g. in the mornings where I catch it there's one at approx. 8:13, 8:23, 8:33 and then none till nearly nine.

And then there's the times when there's just no buses at all. I've regularly waited half an hour and even up to 50mins (and this is weekday rush hours, not late night or Sundays).

And then there's the overcrowding. I get on at the first stop in Brixton coming home in the evening and it's a right old bunfight to get on. Anyone trying to get on at the Police Station has to pray they can sqeeze on - never again for me - some thieving toegrag lifted my wallet in the scrum and got off next stop. Going in in the mornings, it's full of giggling Sydenham Girls, but fortunately they all pile off at the bottom of Forest Hill Road, so usually seats available if you wait.

Other issues are accommodating buggies and the buses with only one doorl, but I'm all ranted out....
