135 bus from Aldgate is the civilised cheap way of getting to Canary

Does the 135 tell you where it's going yet? When I last took it all it
said on the front was 'Crossharbour Asda' in one direction and 'Old
Street' in the other. To introduce a bus linking two important
locations (the City and Canary Wharf) and then not to show these on
the destination blinds seems perverse.

That's TfL's "end destination only" nonsense, then... No, no
change.

Will be interesting to see if the route survives now Tower Gateway is
back, as it was in part introduced as a replacement.

I don't see that it wouldn't survive - there are many other routes with
lower usage. I also cannot recall there being any mention of the 135
being a part replacement for DLR - source for your comment?

I'm pretty sure TfL publicity at the time said that there had long
been an aim to introduce something but that it was prompted by the
requirement to provide for journeys from the Aldgate area to Canary
Wharf that might previously have used the DLR.

Unfortunately I don't still have a copy. But the service itself is
very welcome, and is by far the most civilised (if slow) way of
getting to Canary Wharf using a Travelcard. (The *most* civilised,
costing extra, being the boat).
