Same time you waiting for the bus and the just no stopping and always delayed or they stop

136 and 343 don’t need to stop here and on the stop round the corner on Walworth Road

At Camberwell Road/albany Road and bowyer place the 35 going into the city often doesn’t stop in the morning because it

Narrow waiting area and much crowding

There used to be a choice of buses along Walworth Road going to London Bridge but now there is only the 35.

Too infrequent buses to London Bridge from Walworth. Only the 35 which is often really busy and not always reliable

Why there is no bus from here to London Bridge or at least Liverpool Street

The frequent practice of holding the bus for 5 minutes or - worse - decanting the whole bus is highly disrespectful.

Bus stop has no seating or shelter

Cycle lane often blocked by buses and other vehicles

Buses always full when they reach London Bridge so commuters going North to Liverpool St can't get on

Buses are curtailed here. Ban terminations /short running in Southwark.
