Still suspended, though roads in London are perfectly passable. The
effect of this has been the closure of an awful lot of places (shops
in stations and the likes) normally staffed by lower-paid workers who
would most likely go to work by bus. The Tube is also operating very
little, probably due to staffing issues caused by same.

It's very poorly thought-out - they should really have looked at
operating what was OK rather than just cutting everything.

According to Howard Collins, COO of London Transport, buses were taken off
last night on the advice of the Met. Police (interview on LBC news)
