She could have got a number 12 bus straight home..l am sure they have cash points in Camberwell. Seems odd to stop there of an places.

There are so many reasons why she might have chosen to withdraw money from an ATM, even during a pandemic. Maybe she lives in a HMO and the landlord comes around to collect the rent and only takes cash - as this happened towards the end of the month, that could be a possibility. Perhaps she needed it to pay a coach driver to pick up a package and transport then deliver it to her family back in the Czech Republic. Christmas is just around the corner, so another strong possibility. It also really depends on the sum she withdrew...maybe it only was £10 or £20. If there's a restaurant or, even, an off licence near to where she lives in Camberwell that doesn't take cards she would need to have some money on her for when she goes there to get some food/groceries. Remember that thsi was on a Sunday evening, so most supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl etc would have been closed by 5 PM. All MOO of course.

I get the feeling that this may have been a local offense made against Petra and even possibly someone she knew as an arrest was made quickly into the investigation. Depending on how quickly things move on with the investigation it seems quite specific what police are looking into.Well, that's quite busy.
Possibly normal for City areas.Well, that's quite busy.
In this Sky News article it says Petra withdrew money from a cash point in the Elephant and Castle area. This means she could have got on the C10 for convenience as it stops outside the hospital. Got off at Elephant and Castle, withdrew money, then got on a bus to Camberwell.

I think that's pretty odd. I guess she had her reasons, but I would far and away choose Waterloo over E&C for using a cashpoint, in safety terms.
I used to live a few streets away from Petra and I’ve often had to get off and change buses in Elephant and Castle. The C10 doesn’t go to Camberwell but it does go to Elephant and Castle so it makes sense to get off there and change as there are a lot of buses from there to Camberwell.
I also wondered if this was her usual and most direct route home.She could have got a number 12 bus straight home..l am sure they have cash points in Camberwell. Seems odd to stop there of an places.
But wouldn't you get your cash at Waterloo first? I would, but maybe I'm just a scaredy cat. I haven't been to E&C for years but it always gave me the heebie jeebies.
I lived in Camberwell until I moved 10 mins away this year. I can confirm there are shops and takeaways that don’t accept card. I often had to withdraw money to get something from a corner shop or takeaway. It may be she wanted something to eat after her shift so withdrew cash to pay for it.
