What are some of the worst curtailment points in London from a passenger perspective? Places with little to no amenities/facilities or onward connections. Where you really feel like you are being "dumped off in the middle of nowhere". As someone whose closer to the centre of the city, this was a difficult decision but I thought the Hornsey Rise curtailment on the 91 was irregular.

Where you really feel like you are being "dumped off in the middle of nowhere". Stirling Corner northbound on the 384, especially at night. You get turfed off at Scratchwood Open Space, a stop with no shelter on a thin strip of pavement in a layby by the 50mph A1... just next to a dodgy shisha lounge and notorious dogging spot!

Copse Hill on the 200 as no other route serves deep into that residential area adjacent to Wimbledon Hill, Wimbledon Common and Raynes Park.

NO surprise, TfL and the usual Labour council nonsense

Waterworks Corner on the 123. When Capital Citybus used to have scheduled workings that ended there in the evenings and dumped people off with no connections as the bus then used the A406 and A13 to run light back to [DM] That's different though, if a bus was scheduled to terminate at Waterworks Corner it would display that as a destination. If people chose to ignore it and get on, that's down to them. I agree it's an awful location if you are turfed off a bus there that was supposed to be going further. There were schedules curtailments there, as well as unscheduled ones.

There has been a lot of discussion on here recently about destination blinds and bits of paper in the windscreen, I was in Crawley the other day and Metrobus have some Brighton & Hove Scanias on hire and all were clearly showing the correct route number and destination on the electronic display, looks so much more professional than what's acceptable in the world of TfL.

Absolute total chaos in Limehouse on Commercial Road this evening. 3 Old Street 135s, 2 Dalston 277’s and 2 Mile End D7’s all in convoy stuck in the traffic, the roads are utterly gridlocked. Buses being turned short everywhere. Was like this yesterday as well. Presumably there are issues at the Rotherhithe tunnel?

The Blackwall is closed so presumably the Rotherhithe is picking up the slack. Once the Blackwall is tolled this will effectively be the norm if the Rotherhithe remains free.

As above due to Blackwall tunnel closure it is pandemonium. Saturdays tends to be worse with the Woolwich ferry also having people causing traffic there. Tower Bridge Rd also is solid traffic from this.

Where you really feel like you are being "dumped off in the middle of nowhere". River Road/Thames Road on the EL3 is a pretty grim place to wait for a bus, all you can do is wait for the next EL3. Wennington on the 372 is also a pretty isolated place for onward connections to anywhere

Wennington on the 372 is also a pretty isolated place for onward connections to anywhere One time an EL2 I was on terminated at Barking Riverside and drove off into the EL1 stand, next one was in 20 mins so I had to walk Dagenham Dock which was incredibly bleak, it must be annoying for passengers whenever that happens. Then a 145 arrived 15 mins late and sat in A13 traffic and two sets of temporary lights taking a decade to Heathway, eventually turning to Faircross and I didnt realise that the 173/174/175 would have gone straight there!!
