Bus gate Walworth Road
Very dangerous junction, needs traffic lights. Since the introduction of LTNs there has been an increase in traffic at this junction. Always long tailback down John Ruskin St wanting to turn right into Camberwell Road, simply to join the tailback from the Albany Road junction !

This bus will wait here to regulate the service
Very slow due to many buses at bus stops which block and slow other buses, compounded by the traffic lights
Reopen the railway!

These buses used to stop outside the tube station. Now they are far when you have heavy shopping.

Conflicting movements
Penrose St Conflict and Delay
Please add more street trees
roadwork
148 often terminates at Elephant & Castle instead of at Camberwell Green
Stop placement in relation to railway station
Elephant and castle stop busy with no shelter
It is annoying when buses stop short of Camberwell Green to change driver, which means anyone wanting to switch buses must walk to the Denmark hill stop. Why can’t buses stop at normal bus-stops?

When are there going to be more convenient bus stops? The bus stop in London Road must be half a mile or so from the next stop in Walworth Road. I know this has been caused by the redevelopment of the Elephant but it is tortuous for elderly commuters having to walk to a stop as buses pass them by.
