There are terrible back-ups at the London Road end of Dartmouth Road for much of the morning -- it makes it almost pointless to take the bus as buses are forced to wait for ten minutes or more to turn onto London Road. As buses cannot let you out after the Thorpewood Avenue stop, it can be very frustrating.

I can't understand why there is any parking on Dartmouth Road. It makes what is already a narrow road into essentially a one-lane road, so that two buses going in opposite directions can't pass each other.
