You want to ban wheelchair accessible buses from Oxford Street???? Why is it that so many people want to take the buses away from Central London's main bus interchange? 'Tis not as if there's a viable alternative. So why have you come up with the most anti-routemaster proposal yet? I haven't. Their days are numbered, but Peter Hendy has said that some will always remain, so why not put them to work in London's biggest tourist trap. There's an enormous difference between putting them to work in London's biggest tourist trap and restricting them to a tiny part of London's biggest tourist trap. Tourists want Piccadilly Circus! Wheelchair accessible buses would still cross Oxford Street, but be able to get on with going places, rather than clog up the already congested street. Clog up? I thought the switch to ticketless buses had solved that problem. I think the main reason Oxford Street's clogged up is because the road was narrowed too much in the wrong places! As for calling Oxford Street London's main bus interchange, a long street with interminable queues of buses trying to get onto blocked stops does not make an interchange. Aldwych or Victoria are a lot more effective. Aldwych and Victoria are more effective as termini (though Aldwych may not be when the trams come) but I'd regard somewhere where general traffic is banned and you can catch buses going in all directions as an interchange. |

Campaign. It appears they becoming concerned about the St73 Campaigns fly posting of their Bus Stop infrastructure. Not sure whether they concerned about the numerous Shelters with "Call Me im saucy Sally the Salicious Schoolgirl" type ads posted to them... Horses for courses I suppose..... |

Last time I saw a London bus shelter with a schoolgirl on it, she was climbing onto the roof - and the shelter was bending noticably... |
