So - I've just moved to this rancid hole and it seems that not only do
the locals not understand how to communicate with people it appears
that the local transport services are also just as bad...

I headed over to the TFL site, using their journey planner to get to
Greenwich it was routing me via Central London when I'm absolutely
sure there is a direct bus route. Seeing as the shelters don't have
timetables in them and there doesn't seem to be a timetable available
online I'm a bit annoyed at the complexity of getting on a bus to go
down the road in this town.

I'm guessing you live in Thamesmead, where they are (were?) no physical bus
stops because they were regularly stolen and sold as scrap aluminium.

Thamesmead has loads of bus stops. Many of us would say too many.

The real problem is not enough buses - and the wrong kind. Single door
for entry and exit in an area with a large population of young mothers
with buggies at all times of the day - including AM and PM peaks - is
just a nightmare.

And of course Boris has just axed the Greenwich Waterfront Transit -
about which I will be starting another thread shortly.
