BTW, does anyone know why the count-down thing was removed from the
bus-stop outside Mile End tube station?


A cruel part of me wonders if they were nicked...

Not much of a market for second hand bus count-downs I'd have
thought... mobile phones and handbags are the usual targets.
I did wonder if it had been vandalised but to be honest there's not
much of that around the area.

ROTFL - You jest! Mile End is one of the worst areas in the East End for
vandalism - even the newly rebuilt Mile End Park (and its 'green bridge')
has been the target for vandals with hundreds of newly planted trees and
flower beds ripped up and torn to pieces. A few years ago a kid was killed
trying to vandalise the electricity sub-station behind the Underground
station when it blew up blacked out half the area. Then there's the
muggings and other assaults in the area round the station - a few weeks ago
a woman was attacked and a man trying to help her was stabbed to death.
