Yes - usually in connection with you George.

Very apt for this weather. If you'd checked your facts before jumping
to conclusions you would know that it is Paul Morant who started the
new group, not me. He was banned from Mr Rivetts group and that is why
me and several others terminated our membership of said group, sorry
to spoil your latest rant with a few facts!


Not what I understand to be the case - especially in relation to your
departure from the group.

Do you ever listen to LBC Radio? Yesterday many callers were
complaining about TfL's lack of info, either they've got it all wrong
or you have, ho hum!!


Oh look you've changed the subject. What a surprise! *Have you sent your
complaint in to TfL and have you admitted that you were unable to work
their website to find the information therein? *

What people say on the radio is of absolutely no relevance to your
complaint that started this thread. *I trust you will share both the
full content of your E Mail to TfL and also the reply that they send
you. I trust you have also advised them of your failure to find a simple
tab on what is a main page of the website.


I was out and about here and there today (Thursday) and was quite
impressed with what I saw, both in terms of buses running - given the
weather some seemingly unlikely routes were still in operation (albeit
with a few diversions) - and also in terms of roads having been
gritted - I expect the TLRN [1] roads to be so treated (and indeed
they were and are), but I got the impression that at least some
Boroughs were making the effort to ensure that other roads (even some
perhaps a little off the well beaten track) which are on bus routes
got gritted too.

Also good to see the ELL remained in operation, albeit limited to the
'core' route north of New Cross/ NX Gate (dunno whether they managed
to run much of a service south of NX Gate today - though I see
Southern were managing to run a half-hourly London Bridge to East
Croydon stopper, later in the day at least).
