I think it's one of those awkward routes which is overused in the rush
hour (and at night, actually), and under used out of it. I've given up
even trying to get a bus from the Old Kent Road between 8am and 9am -
there just aren't enough of them to cope with demand, and as I live at
the city end, they're mostly so full by the time they reach me that
they don't even stop. However, during the day, the 453 seems to run
half full.
