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)

    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
