Coincidentally, I rode the 129 in the other direction in 'your spot' last Friday and was surprised at the shortness of its route, so thanks for confirming.
I might even have spotted the same Routemasters asleep on a sorry-looking parking lot close to a Go-Ahead bus garage.

I use this bus every so often to get from North Greenwich to Greenwich Square and you're spot on, you're almost always better off waiting for a 188.
On the other hand, not sure Trafalgar Road is gentrifying, gently or otherwise. There's a wine shop (Theatre of Wine, which is excellent) but no wine bars that I'm aware of.

DG would have gone passed a very nice micro pub, the River Ale House.
Wine bars bars always remind me of the 1970's, because that was the last time that i went in one.

The River Ale House is indeed very nice, if like all these micro pubs rather small and hence easily becoming very crowded!
Yes, the 188 is a much faster way of getting between Greenwich and North Greenwich, the 129 though is a useful link between Greenwich and the cinema on that retail estate (and soon the Ikea as well)

The 129s standing at the 'buses must not stand here' sign are highly irritating in that they block half the bus stop. Other (well used) buses arrive and have to stop half a length behind the 129 so they can pull out. Everyone has to leg it down the pavement to board, often after a trip into the road. The frail, the weak, the wheelchair users and the like are left behind.
And another vote too for the River Ale House. It used to be a lingerie shop but the bottom fell out of the market....
