With my first hand knowledge of the arrogance of the officers at Tfl, there will be no appetite to rectify this situation unless they can score some brownie points to advance themselves at City Hall.

do we know if these are 1 or 2 door buses? the big problem on the C10's is they get so packed it is difficult to get off them as only one door!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/129243#msg-129243 Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:59:43 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/129205#msg-129205 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/129205#msg-129205 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 17:43:07 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/124379#msg-124379 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Possel)
Like dee dee above, I believe in complaining to TFL - at least it must be recorded somewhere but I think I'll be long gone from here before I see an improvement!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/124379#msg-124379 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 19:56:22 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/123291#msg-123291 forum@london-se1.co.uk (redalina) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/123291#msg-123291 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:18:52 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122994#msg-122994 forum@london-se1.co.uk (dee dee) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122994#msg-122994 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:35:05 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122991#msg-122991 forum@london-se1.co.uk (beingjdc)
Unfortunately, it was pulling in behind a 53 and a 453, which was itself a little back from the stop, having pulled in behind a 344 which had just gone). Only one person was getting on the C10, and present circumstances (can't really walk at any pace, hence why I'm on the bus in the first place not the tube) there was no way I was going to get to it.

I've played this game before, dash up to the bus door to find the bus has left - however the 53 and the 453 were pulling away, leaving the C10 just down the road, and me, square at the bus stop. My wild optimism that I would then be allowed to get on the bus proved unfounded.

It was not, as the C10 so often is, full - indeed there were seats. So, I signalled for the bus, but thought from the direction of travel the driver might not have seen me. I then waved my arm, complete with three foot attention-getting extension (or, you know, walking stick as it's sometimes called) very excitably as the bus approached the stop.

The bus did not, of course, stop.

I know in the grand scheme of things much worse things happen, but I can only see two possibilities here; either the bus driver has a serious eyesight problem, in which case he shouldn't be driving a bus, or he has a lack of consideration for people with physical impairments, in which case London public transport isn't really the right place for him either.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122991#msg-122991 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:51:30 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122668#msg-122668 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Possel) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122668#msg-122668 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:36:38 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122647#msg-122647 forum@london-se1.co.uk (dee dee)
What is need are more buses going through to Victoria and less buses suddenly having their destinations changed to Tate Britain part way through the journey

The bus size is a real issue as once on the buses getting off is a real nightmare-even if they were still the small buses but with 2 doors it would be a great help

Having said that the journey was ok today as half term and no Pimlico and Greycoat kids!!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122647#msg-122647 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:45:38 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/122643/122643#msg-122643 forum@london-se1.co.uk (juanita)
This is what TfL had to say about the C10 route on 5 Feb to Cllr Skelly....

"Route C10 runs every 12 minutes between Victoria and Canada Water via Pimlico, St Thomas’ Hospital, Elephant, Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. As you will know, the section between Elephant and Canada Water was added in 2006 in response to local requests. It uses 45-capacity buses which are accessible to wheelchairs. The size of buses which can be used is restricted by a constraint in Pimlico.
There are extra journeys in the morning peak between Canada Water and Elephant. These were introduced on 11th January 2010, replacing journeys which ran only between Bermondsey and Elephant. Hence there is now more capacity being provided through Rotherhithe.
The service has also been affected by traffic congestion due to the roadworks in Borough, which has reduced effective capacity when buses need to be curtailed short of their normal destinations. However, the rate of bus-km lost due to congestion fell considerably in the most recent period. We are keeping the new arrangements under review and we have also asked Westminster City Council to review the constraint in Pimlico."
