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 :)

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.

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...

  • 4 weeks later...

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)

    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works. 
    • Yes, I saw an incident van too, earlier, around 3.30 - never seen one before. It did look as if it was on its way to something major.
