Buses Acceptable ?
Kat wrote: In message , Redonda writes Kat wrote: In message , Robert Woolley writes Well, you'll be glad to hear that Route 25 will receive articulated buses in 2004 - which should help solve the crowding problems.... Do you mean the bendy-buses? Now that will be interesting when they come three in a row and stretch all the way to Bow.. BTW, does anyone know why the count-down thing was removed from the bus-stop outside Mile End tube station? According to the local paper they were removed because people were complaining about the times for the next bus actually going backwards because of delays on Bow Road. Seems odd that people would rather have no information at all. Seems even odder that TfL/Bus companies would rather remove the provision of information than try to do something about the underlying problem... (Actually, that's not odd at all!) Like I said there can be up to an hour between buses and bendy-buses aren't going to fix that - a boot up the backside of the bus company might though! The bit from Bow Flyover to Bow Road station is a real bottle neck; stopping people parking just before the bridge (and the turning into Southern Grove) might help too... -- Kat "bears, said the taxi driver, is sixpence extra, sticky bears is ninepence" |
