Experienced the new 40 this morning! Apart from the driver not being able to operate all of his funky new gadgets properly, it was a very pleasing journey!!


How long they will stay nice is up for debate though.


One thing I do miss from the older design is the "footrest" that ran along the front few seats on the top deck on the left hand side of the bus.

Oh yes... and not only is it as annoying as previous busses... it now seems to speak randomly at you!!!


Didn't take long for the greasy haired amongst the 40 passengers to make the windows all streaky and minging with their lovely hair products. Gross.

Try sitting a bit further back on the left on the new buses - I did this morning and enjoyed the footrest which I am also a fan of!

I always have trouble with term ?environmentally friendly? would ?less environmentally damaging? be more accurate term as the former seem to imply that they are improving the environment. I?ll never make it in marketing!

Anybody trying to travel on one of these this morning at around 8am will have witnessed a comedy of errors. First bus to arrive parked up at the Plough bus stop (rather than usual parking spot behind LL), at which point the driver got out a copy of The Sun, and then proceeded to block the bus lane inexplicably for the next 10 minutes. When the next one finally arrived, it made it as far as Moxon's before the door broke and the driver told everybody to get off.


New 40, new danger. Teething problems, I know, but I got a shoeing when I turned up late for work. :(

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
