In the words of the London Buses inspector on duty there yesterday, when I
asked where to find route 8 nowadays: "It's at stop H, till they decide to
move
it AGAIN"!

Are TfL/Stagecoach trying to kill off the section of route 8 south of Green
Park? Lots of 8s seem to be turning short at Oxford Circus, Berkeley Square
or Green Park. For those trying to board an 8 at Victoria, there is the
total lack of passenger information to overcome as to where the route
actually picks up, followed by a walk most of the way to Pimlico to find the
stop. And as always, if you try to avoid the long trek to the first pick up
point by going to the Grosvenor Gardens stop instead, you run the risk the
driver will decide to ignore the stop and speed past.

So route 8 has been evicted, protection against the worst of the weather
removed and passenger information downgraded further, if that is possible.
Just what was the point of the Victoria bus station redevelopment?
