Used to live in a road that had the Barking-Kentish Town line running along the bottom in the steam and early diesel days,had freight trains running 24/7 weekdays plus the passenger trains all week,also had a coal yard(Queens Rd)& goods yard(Boundary Rd) with trains shunting during weekdays.Never disturbed us.

Just thinking,if Covid hadn’t happened would the bus network have continued to grow rather than the cuts we’re seeing now.

Why did they change it?I used to work at Stratford Market Depot from 1998 till 2010,traffic ran quite smoothly on the one way system.

At this time of year and with the weather as it is at the moment,buses will be running around with the heating on ,won’t this drain the batteries?

Probably there for when being driven around depots as sole units,think the coupling ends of middle units have rudimentary driving controls.

I'll definitely look into that I'm trying to convince the Mrs to drop Three, but there's more chance of the 456's Streetlites being refurbished Virgin is proposing to take over Three.

How can Cameron be in the cabinet when he’s not a MP or peer. He has been given the title Barony of the United Kingdom for life so is now Lord Cameron and can sit in the House of Lords. Subsequently also means he can be Foreign Secretary. Bet that’ll put Nadine Dorris’s nose out of joint.

Well I think the way to solve overcrowding in prisons is to bring back the death penalty. Say all the murderers in this country were executed, it would make space for people who should go to jail for lesser crimes like JSO protestors. It would also result in crime levels dropping as no one would want to commit murder when they know they could be executed. Quite frankly I think that a lot of crimes should be punished by death eg murder, rape, child abuse, trafficking, sexual/physical abuse etc I don't think there is any likelihood of the death penalty being restored and sadly there are still miscarriages of justice such as Andy Malkinson. Having the death penalty didn’t stop people commiting murder.

Would it be viable for Stagecoach to run the 34 from AW if they ever won the route?
