It was dreadful without temporary stops this time around. There were additional closures of the Forest Hill Pools stops on Dartmouth Road, so anyone coming from Sydenham would have to get off at the Thorpewood Avenue bus stop and walk down into the town centre, while those from Dulwich had to get off at Horniman Museum and walk down London Road.

The closest bus stop open close enough to the town centre was the 122/185 bus stop on Waldram Crescent and the Honor Oak Road bus stop on London Road towards Dulwich.
