Happy New Year all!
Must say the fireworks last night was a bit meh! think the light show last year was better.
The official London fireworks was crap, saw it on tv. I had more fireworks in my area than that. Stroke of midnight it seemed more than bonfire night. Think it is the most I have ever seen locally, unless people stayed indoors and did their own thing.

Do think London has fallen behind in recent years, the light show last year was nice but globally it was still received extremely poorly. Do think we really could do better considering we have Big Ben right in the middle of it all with its chimes and the London Eye and Westminster Palace providing really nice backdrops. Saw reports yesterday that the people who lived local to the actual firework display saying that they were nowhere near what was actually shown on TV and suggesting that a lot of it was actually CGI on the TV.

Each to their own, I thought the fireworks display was better than the past few years and the laser thing going on was a neat touch

Agreed, last year’s display was much better and the drones were far better utilised in last year’s display. This year just felt a bit hodgepodge with the fireworks just exploding with little coordination. The abruptness of the ending just felt weird as did the bloke doing a speech at the beginning. I can’t wait to find out what the monstrous display cost Londoners.

Merry Christmas to you all. Have a peaceful and enjoyable time. As a little festive extra, and to fill the gap until after New Year, I hope to join you on Bank Holiday Tuesday.
PS No, I have no idea what my first route mention this year was!

Merry Christmas if you celebrate it and happy holidays if you don't (like me), hope everyone has a fantastic day today (nobody better be going for the 430 running day , better to stay at home imo because who actually can be bothered to go for a service between Roehampton and Putney Bridge )

PS No, I have no idea what my first route mention this year was! Don't forget those who may be on their own today. Well said! I was on my own for Christmas. My parents died some years back and my aunt last year. I then heard early this year that my brother had died late last year. So, my first Christmas knowing I had no family out there. Thankfully I was able to work at home within my customer service role. I did therefore have some interaction in addition to emails and other non-bus online chat.

MetrolineGA1511 I am really sorry to read this it must have been a tough Christmas, I am glad you was kept busy and hopefully the customers were being polite and courteous especially as you was working Christmas day. Hope you are doing okay and get to take some time out to do other things over the holidays.
Christmas is now done for another year we are not in that limbo period until new year where everything is a bit odd and you lose track of the days.
