24 February (Part 1) - Potholes
Potholes
was discussed early on at last night’s Cabinet meeting (report coming soon) and if I went into
full on Daniel Francis mode I would be inundating FixMyStreet
with reports. A new hole appeared at the weekend which is pictured here. The
buses turning into New Road from Woolwich Road are doing what they do best.
(There is a deeper new pothole at the junction of Brampton Road and Longleigh Lane.)
What buses don’t do best is serve the public.
I arrived at the Clock Tower bus
stop at 10:24 this morning to get a 301 towards home. The indicator said
there would be an 18 minute wait but I wasn’t too worried, it lies constantly.
However after 15 minutes the next 301 had regressed to 23 minutes. It was 10:48
before it got back to an indicated 18 minutes again.
A 301 eventually showed up at 10:54.
The lady sitting next to me wanted a 401 and when she first
asked me in very hesitant English when the next one was due it was a two
minute wait. It was nearly 20 minutes before a 401 showed up. Transport for London is utterly useless.
Note: 24th February is the day the Bonkers SSL certificate is supposed to renew automatically but it never does. Now I have to go through the rigmarole all over again.
Few browsers will allow you to see it without a certificate but if you do this note explains why it was such a hassle.
