The best replacement bus is between Canada Water and Rotherhithe - it
is probably quicker to walk then to ride a bus... almost the same
Surrey Quays. In fact the only valuable replacement bus is the Wapping
one.

I suspected that it might be the case for Wapping, but isn't there a
D3 or something?

From what I've seen, overyone get the 100 to Liverpool Street or the D3
instead - nobody ever seems to be on the Wapping replacement. Putting
more 100s on would have been nice.

Or bigger buses - whenever I see one it's rammed. Is there a bridge
that won't fit deckers under? Could bendies perhaps be useful?

Not sure, but I wonder if it's to do with the cobbled and narrow Wapping
High Street...

What are they using for the replacement buses north of the Thames?

South of the Thames, they are using double-deckers, while the 225,
which covers most of the line, has little things (maybe there's a
restriction somewhere that it goes though).

The Wapping one, I think, is also.
