The 194 is still unreliable and a long winded route as it is, currently running the long way round to Croydon via Beckenham, Elmers End, Eden Park, West Wickham and Shirley.

The 356 service between Bell Green and FH is dreadful and it seems you have to plan your trip to Sainsburys so you don't miss the bus or it's the infamous 20-30 min wait, just to go up Perry Rise.

It doesn't help if you use the bus between 0800-0900 or from 1500-1600 when it also becomes a school bus.
