why have we not seen any CCTV footage released? Is this
another case of equipment fitted but not working, as on the 7/7
explosion on route 26?

Just because footage hasn't been released to the public
doesn't mean that there wasn't good quality CCTV on the
bus circulated to police quite quickly after the incident.

Or not, obviously.

We'll see if it exists in time...

Just like the Aldwych bus bomb (oops cam not working).

One would hope London Buses management would issue high profile
statements to maintain passenger confidence.

Issue statements to maintain confidence? How does that work exactly?

"bus travel remains statistically safe....very rare...." etc.

Commiserations to the bereaved might not be a bad idea too.

Indeed...But one might be "Statistically" safer from either Terrorist or
Nutcase attack were there to be a Well Trained and Motivated Conductor on
board one`s bus.
Pressing ahead with the removal of Conductors from the remaining London TPO
routes in the run up to Christmas does not exactly appear like a commonsense
approach to addressing a percieved threat from whatever quarter.....unless
one belongs to the loonier fringes of the Accountancy profession ?

I suspect Peter Hendy & Co certainly belong to the "loonier fringes of
the Accountancy profession", firstly by justifying free travel for the
3rd world on bendy-bus routes, and secondly in allowing indigenous
feral low-life to swamp all services with the forthcoming free travel
for teenagers too.

Yes, this mobile youth club nonsense has annoyed me too. A pretty blatant
attempt to create dependent client groups amongst present and future voters,
along the lines of the winter fuel allowance given to the wealthiest age
group in society - pensioners.

A) Revenue checks on artics show higher fare evaision than network
average. Well worth noting that overall fraud is well down pre-Jan
2000 due to the very simple farescale in London - most fraud before
2000 was due to overriding on cash fares.

B) Under 16s have a phtocard to claim free travel. If they misbehave
it will be withdrawn.

C) Your references to '3rd world' and 'indigenous low-life' shows
you're a ****. I do hope you don't work in London's transport
industry.
