Is anyone else a little p****d off at this? *Whilst trying to attract
more people to Oxford Street and Regent Street, they are diverting the
buses away, thus making it more difficult to get there, and
conseuqently making the tube more overcrowded than it already is.

I am just wondering whether the benefits of making Oxford Street car
free outweigh the disadvantages


A bit of a catch 22 really, buses would only spend ages stuck in
gridlock with passengers geting off and walking.
