Meanwhile someone at the Independent had a bright idea, resulting
in an article today by Jonathan Brown based on a journey
on the 0845 No. 30 _from_ Hackney Wick:
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/transport/article297934.ece.

The BBC is today carrying a story of a survivor of the No.30 incident,
who had caught the bus after leaving the tube system at Edgware Road -
she was travelling east:

So I think there can be no doubt that the No.30 was travelling to
Hackney Wick (as on its destination board), despite every source I've
seen claiming that it was coming *from* Hackney Wick.

The origin of the report of the wrong direction seems to have been a
statement from TfL. I wonder if Paul C may be able to clarify?
