So, I wonder which ghastly dehumanised moron made the recommendation to
his friend Tone' that the Routemaster's executioner should be thus
honoured today?

CBE = Commission from Bendis Earned?

Actually, Peter along with Tim O'Toole led the responses to 7/7 on
behalf of TfL:

Why don't you bother to check your facts?

Do forgive me. I didn't realise that signing off a press release or two
with your name on the bottom was enough to earn a CBE these days.

Your attempt to make cheap jokes out of the 7/7 events, which put
tremendous pressure on the management of London Underground and London
Buses, is unwarranted. By all means criticise the honours system, but
not in a way which belittles the very real achievements of these
managers and their staff on that awful day.

I'm not making light of it in the slightest. If you think about what I
said, it's the claim that he earned his CBE on 7/7 that is belittling those
whose contributions were not honoured.

Can you provide one iota of evidence of HendyBus actually getting his suit
dirty in the aftermath of the explosions to help those injured and
stranded? Of running through tunnels in the dark towards the screams of the
dying, not knowing if there's another bomb about to go off?

His job isn't (or shouldn't be) day-to-day operations, it is (or should be)
the high-level strategy and future planning. Which should not come in to
play on a day like 7/7.

If he's directing the operations personally, then his job of advanced
planning has failed dismally - and almost certainly he'd be hindering the
work of getting the network up again by stopping those with a far better
clue of what needs doing from doing their job.

I have absolutely no doubt that plenty of people - LU, emergency services
and just passers-by - did a superb job on that day with little regard for
their own safety. I severely doubt he was personally high on the list.

The press briefing for Number 10 concerning the honours list is he

http://www.number10.gov.uk/output/Page8851.asp

- worth noting that many front line staff are honoured.

- also worth noting that restoring services after what happened was a
major piece of work (but then, if you're obsessed with Routemasters to
the exclusion of all else why should that matter?)
