A week in the bus world is as long as one in politics....

No. my memory is probably at fault.

Or as a 16 year old, playing a 14 year old, in 'I Start Counting.'

In Cornwall the only Lloyds branches left are in Royal Cornwall Hospital at Truro and in the two small towns of Callington and Torpoint close to the Devon border.

It's difficult to be sure, as the London Borough of Camden doesn't appear to list all Tree Preservation Orders on any publically available website, but piecing together sparse information suggests there is such an order on the Eastern side of Kingsway. Prhichesumably this isn't an order on an...

In a small queue on Chyandour Cliff in Penzance at the temporary lights at lunchtime were two T1s and a U4, all d/d. The first T1 got through the first green, the others on the next. Needless to say, probably, but each bore completely different liveries, only one of which was correct for the...

Tommy Cooper used to tell the joke that he owned both a Rembrandt and a Stradivarius. ''Trouble is, Rembrandt made the violin and Stradivarius did the painting.'' Told in his customary way, I can assure you it had them rolling in the aisles. It's much the same attempting to compare a train...

If, as I hope, this type of arrangement becomes quite prevalent at larger bus stations/termini then those two locations would almost certainly be included. I do, however, recognise it is for the medium/long term, but it's something that TfL and National Grid etc really must get to grips with if...

Could it be that TfL will attempt to assuage the frustration of Metrobus at being unable so far to operate their long-awaited new allocation of opportunity-charged buses on the 358 by getting Bromley North and West Croydon bus stations charged up, and lo and behold....? They would be a good...

No idea of the real reason, but the carousel was a popular feature of country fairs in England in the 19th century.

Okay, I'll take that at face value, but the obvious question is '' then why take this routeing, which wasn't in the original specification?'' It doesn't add up to me.

Thanks for the North Finchley obs. On the Croydon to Bromley routeing, I'm bemused too. It strikes me as a compromise, but for unexplained reasons. The necessity for single deckers with this routeing, though, might just indicate that some bus planners feel the routeing will be altered in some...

That's life, the universe and everything, as someone once said (can't remember who ;) )

Yes, the Kinks, and Ray Davies in particular, were always ahead of their time. She had good taste. Does anyone know when she changed her public name from Anne to Annie Nightingale? Wikipedia is silent on the subject, but at the time when I was listening to her occasionally she always used the...

If TfL buses section had liaised with TfL's roads section in good time, then the introduction of the SL1 might have been put back by a week. The roadworks had been known about for some time apparently, but London's public transport has been bedevilled by lack of liaison between different parts...

What's the difference? ;)

Quite.

I'm suggesting that Sunak will have no interest in being Leader of the Opposition for one year, let alone five, It's hardly a radical view, most political journalists have expressed it.; I couldn't give a damn what Clegg got himself into it, it's my view that it was a cop-out and two fingers up...

Will you say the same when Rishi Sunak disappears to Silicon Valley after the next election, not that I'm suggesting he'll lose his Richmond seat? Anyway, not saying wrong but indicative of his dismissive attitude to those who'd supported his party and his appointment as their leader, I guess...

Then you bring months and weather seasons into it too? TfL emulating TOCs fareswise is the opposite direction from the one it should be seeking.
