Sorry for the tabloid headline !

08.45 Saturday . . . .Reports of a bendy bus going up in smoke at
Victoria bus ststaion - the one at the front of the station, not the
coach station (er obviously - but you see what I mean) London
Underground services running through but not calling - NR station open
with front entrances, not surprisingly, closed.

I'm somewhat puzzled by this report... I arrived at King's Cross (from
Retford) at 0840, travelled by Victoria Line to Victoria (arrived around
0855) and waited for a friend who used the 0544 from Carlisle to Euston then
the Victoria Line. He turned up at around 0930 and then we both travelled
on the 0953 to East Grinstead for the special Bluebell train from their new
platform there. No indication of any problems while we were travelling to,
and while we were at, Victoria, and LU seemingly running normally.
