The Blackwall Tunnel/East India Dock Road stop towards Lewisham. That one, and that in the other direction when the 108 ran via the A12 both vulnerable to buses accidentally failing to stop for waiting passengers as I've witnessed a few times as a passenger. I don't know why this is the case - maybe it's something psychological about the minimum speed limit in place there. This driver went for it when going onto the A102 and didn't seem to have plans to stop there, but dropped the anchors in time to pick up the person who was waiting! Got a memory of being in the front seat of an Excel in ETB days which skipped that stop and the driver motioned to the poor people stood at the bus stop to apologise as he was in the wrong lane! |

I have thought about this one over the last couple days and though this one will be mainly for bus drivers others can comment if you know of any. I'll start off with route 19 and Slone Square Station towards Battersea, now this bus stop is a utter pain in the neck as you come around the roundabout you can't actually serve the bus stop properly and have to serve it at an angle so tend to block the traffic heading towards Victoria and then when you want to pull out again no one wants to let you out or younger blocked in by other vehicles if the lights change and the angle that you have to come out again means you have to lean out the window to see what is coming around the roundabout. I find this bus stop hazardous and I don't see what is wrong with using the bus stop just before the roundabout on slone street. I also found that bus stop annoying when I used to do the C1 in the 90s. |

I think TfL need to have a look at Bishopsgate, on the northbound, there is a shelter with a countdown however the bus stop is located after a set of traffic lights which causes confusion everyone. May be worthwhile looking at.

From a passenger access point of view, High Barnet Station stop northbound on Barnet Hill is a nightmare. You have a choice leaving the station of going down and then back up or up and then back down the hill: both ways are grisly, steep and hazardous (you will have missed your bus by the time you get there, probably when it flew past as you waited at the crossing for the lights to never change) and nigh on impossible for people with mobility difficulties (apparently some people use stations as far away as East Finchley to avoid it!).
I have suggested to TfL so many times to divert at least one bus, preferably the 384 northbound, into the station car park (which could happily survive a trimming) but apparently this would 'delay too many journeys'.

The new Forest Hill Pools stops in Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill. The northbound stop is way too close to the Thorpewood Avenue stop to be of any use, while the southbound stop has no shelter thanks to a narrow road and is open to the elements, which make it far from ideal for waiting for the bus in hot or rainy weather.
The 122 stop also in Dartmouth Road (Forest Hill Station) towards Lewisham is right by the traffic lights and despite the road being remodelled, still blocks the 197 and 176 from turning into London Road while it's picking up passengers.
