Is it just me or are the East Dulwich buses worse since Boris got in?

I am truly sorry to cause you such consternation Jeremy, but on this occasion it was probably too late for me to have time to buy a ticket and catch the last train :)

Thanks for your aplology, Mr Denver. If it was too late for the last train, that is an acceptable explanation.

seems to me 90p for 45 mins (2p per min) vs ?2 for 15 mins (13.33p per min) the bus wins hands down for value for money!!

...and apparently you get your soul saved for no extra! Bargain.

Today's evening standard has an article about the New Routemasters and the two designs that won first prize... sadly they only won a prize and it is not 100% certain that they will be the final design

However maybe in 3 years time (I know it will flash by like a trip on a No 40) we will end up with decent hybrid busses and conductors again.

Fuck hybrids. What we need are high performance buses with highly trained drivers that can get the No.12 from Westminster to Dulwich Library in under 15 minutes.

When we used to have Routemasters and Nightbuses, I was actually on a night bus that did just that... two stops, Elephant and Castle to let one passenger of and Dulwich Library to let the rest of the shaken and suddenly sober ones off...

Quite quite scary but the fastest bus ride from London I have ever been on...

Is it just me, or do the busses seem much better this year so far...

up to Christmas i often used to have to watch a couple of full busses fly past - but since the new year, they seem more frequent and much easier to get on. (i get on opposite Lucas)

Anyone else noticed?

Did you not travel by bus yesterday?

4 buses in half an hour 2 of which were a tad full. Not that I'm complaining its not a new thing *shrugs*
