OK, as I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the proposed scenario is that the 45 will terminate at E&C rather than go to Kings Cross and the 40's route will be taken away from a heavily used commuter route into the City and changed to go to a route which is already currently served by the 45 and the 63. So, we're taking away a very much needed route into the City to give to a route that is already served. I honestly can't understand the reasoning behind this - although TFL's headquarters are directly opposite Southwark Tube Station so maybe whoever they consulted just fancied an easier journey into work.

Well I don't care because your mother's a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.

Was drifting through the Forum and have just seen this thread - Peter at Balayage, near Dulwich Library, tel: 0203 609 6699. He is absolutely brilliant!
