The fire at a signal box just outside London Bridge on the 26th of November led to overcrowding and angry scenes at North Greenwich underground station and bus interchange for much of the evening. Passengers complained at the lack of informed staff, fights broke out and eventually the police were called. How rapidly can TfL react to such events and what spare capacity is there in the South East London bus network to allow a degree of flexibility to meet unusual patterns of demand?

The fire at a signal box just outside London Bridge on the 26th of November led to overcrowding and angry scenes at North Greenwich underground station and bus interchange for much of the evening. Passengers complained at the lack of informed staff, fights broke out and eventually the police were called to marshall the bus queues. What lessons can this incident provide for Transport for London's planning for the upcoming redevelopment of London Bridge, during which Greenwich line trains will be unable to stop at this major terminus?

Despite being upgraded to a double decker only last year, demand for the 132 bus between Bexleyheath and North Greenwich appears to outstrip supply. I am regularly contacted by constituents complaining that in the morning peak it is full by Eltham and in the evening, the queue at North Greenwich regularly outstrips the capacity of one bus. Residents are also suspicious of the route's claim to run "every 10-12 minutes" when Countdown regularly displays 18 or 23 minute waits. Will the Mayor direct Transport for London into looking at increasing capacity on this successful and popular route?
