The thing is, at the moment, the Tube empties out at Brixton and
everybody crowds on to southbound buses. Which, admittedly, mostly
start in Brixton so are empty (but not for long). It's better than it
was, but trying to get on a southbound bus in Brixton at about 5.30-6.00
pm is still a nightmare. What it will be like if/when the CRT opens, I
dread to think.

What will happen is that you won't be able to get onto a bus at Brixton
Station, because all the people getting off CRT will have got on at the
previous stop (Brixton Police Station), since all buses stop there even
if their official starting point is Brixton Station.

At least if people didn't have to get off the Tube or CRT in Brixton,
the buses would be emptier for those who chose to use them!

Brixton is one of the two or three busiest Tube stations outside Zone 1
- this alone should indicate that there are a lot of people who might
want to go a bit further!
