Thank you for posting an off-topic message to the group, without "OT".
And then insulting everyone else for not doing it before you.

Is there an official description of topics for this group?


http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.transport.london.html

Thanks for the link, Eric.

"This group is for the discussion of matters relating to any form of
transport, be it public or private, in the London area."

So it is not OT....
It also could be in uk.transport.air
(which I do not read)



There was a sudden drastic drop in the number of posts to this group last
year. I suspect its no longer carried on a number of servers for whatever
reason.

This group has enough posts to carry it.
Most newsservers do not delete newsgroups because of too little posts.
(only Google Groups does this)


We know exactly why: huge amounts of drugs spam messages were being
posted via Google Groups, from Gmail accounts, to this news group.
Instead of fixing the Gmail spammers problem, or making the group
read-only via Google Groups, Google simply stopped carrying the group.
So anyone who accesses usenet via Google Groups thinks that this
newsgroup no longer exists. The good news is that we no longer get any
of the spam, but we also don't get some legitimate posts.

As far as I'm aware, other news servers continue to carry it, though
it's possible that all the drugs spam caused it to be dropped from
some other servers, too.


eternal.september carries this newsgroup.
nntp.aioe.org also carries it.
