Default Extra busses on tube strike day

I was pleased to hear from the London Lite freebie that "at least
8000 extra busses are operating on 7000 routes"

Thanks Boris

Shame the London Lite apparently managed to get it so horribly wrong.
There will be 100 extra buses in service on the strike days - and
there are 'only' around 700 routes in London, as opposed to 7,000!

Conjuring up 1,000 extra buses - let alone 8,000 - would be something
of a magic trick indeed.
