I too have noted the remarks from Boltar about the bus drivers and the
loss of bus services. While I understand his exasperation that some of
London was left without bus services and what *might* have happened to
vulnerable people in such a situation there is no evidence thus far that
any great inconvenience or distress was actually caused once people knew
what had happened and listened to police advice.

At lunchtime I got the 391 from Richmond to Chiswick - naively I didn't
think buses that far out would be affected, but in fact huge numbers of
people (commuters and tourists) were leaving London by SWT from Waterloo
to Richmond and then hoping to get services such as the 190 to
Hammersmith (and thence on to Ealing, etc) or the 391 to Kensington.

Every service was grossly over-crowded, but there was (on my bus at
least) a great spirit of bon-homie as we helped give up seats for the
those that needed them and as we all crashed into each other on every
sharp corner. We all helped find the best possible seat for one poor old
lady who was feeling feint, and an American with far too much luggage
kindly improvised perching benches from his more obstructive suitcases.

I do not know and have not seen anything that says what happened next by
way of bus services in Greater London. Were buses taken off London wide?

No, out here in Putney/Barnes/Richmond services continued throughout the
day, AFAIR.
