Also saw 36 to Harrow Road, Elgin Avenue. The 36 seems to be turned away from Queens Park regularly whenever I drive on Vauxhall Bridge Road it is always curtailed and the 36 is always full. Was more reliable when it was running alongside the 436 when it was going to Paddington. It's only been this past month or two that it's been this bad! Usually the service is quite acceptable despite the bunching.
I normally swap buses either along Park Lane or Grovesnor Gardens to the 2 and 36 and just as an anecdotal point, I haven't ever managed to get a 36 in a long while! By right I should pretty much have a near-fifty-fifty chance of getting either.
Though even the 2 is suffering lately in the past month or so, quite a few curtailments to Marble Arch.
Not too sure what's causing the trouble. Park Lane doesn't exactly seem much worse than it usually has been.

I was on Route 2 yesterday and they were running very well very little traffic last four weeks though it was a nightmare temporary traffic lights and Park Lane so slow moving. |

HA24 on the 64
289 to Ashburton Park, Lower Addiscombe Road - I’m all for detailed blinds but even I think this one is a bit overdone
2494 was involved in an incident with a car on Brixton Hill (the bloke who runs my local chipper said the car was at fault). It’s straddled two lanes and is causing congestion

I think this is much clearer and would give the public a better idea of where the bus is terminating— I wouldn’t expect the average person to know where a Long Lane curtailment is. 2) I’m surprised Lower Addiscombe Road (Lower Addiscombe Road/Davidson Road) and Lombard Roundabout aren’t official 289 curtailments. I think the ‘Mitcham Road, Purley Way’ curtailment on 264 should really just say Lombard Roundabout |

It technically has to traverse Lower Addiscombe Road either to continue to Cherry Orchard Road or to turn around |
