Someone in 2012 did a FOI about this and got back the entire Big Red Book. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/114507/response/283283/attach/3/Bigbook.pdf Seems bus can keep going if they are sure there is nobody waiting - but if anyone is at the stop they must stop (visually impaired might not see the bus coming, tourists don't know the rules) - 2012 vintage :). No distinction is made between types of stop that I can see.

All Sky want is your money - as you found out, and if you treat them as such it's all OK. They're pushing Sky Q now (for only ?12 extra per month) so "forget" the rest of us :)

Harry throwing his not inconsiderable hat into the ring. They need somebody who can attract players in January. At least it would be fun watching the circus.

They're either very slow or very fast Which means they're trying to regain the timetabled position IMHO Mind you - who in London uses their mirrors ;) -

I remember being evacuated from shopping centers at least once a month and regular bombings. We have had a peaceful few years in a way - maybe we are actually returning to 'normality' unfortunately. -

I don't pay until I'm fully bagged :) so surely it's in their own interest. There were some children helping out last year IIRC -

From Evening Standard today "The man was named as Anis A who German media described as ?highly dangerous? and a member of a ?large? Islamic organisation."

I notice on the Co-Op website "Due to high demand and the level of automation, the bread is produced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week" So is it a logisitics problem :)
