Default The bus strike - Friday 22 June

I had (perhaps foolishly) taken the above at face value and assumed that
all routes operated by Go-Ahead would be running, but it seems that the
injunction only covers London General - the other Go-Ahead London
companies - that is London Central, Docklands Buses and Blue Triangle -
are all affected, as is their Metrobus subsidiary.


Not so foolish, I think... Around my way -- according to Countdown --
the only bus route operating normally was the 465, by Metrobus.

As per TfL's press release, "Metroline, Arriva the Shires, London
General, Quality Line and Sullivan's all running good services."
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/24343.aspx


I saw that page. Much of it was overly political, as TfL news
releases often are these days (although it stated in the Ken era):

"Despite the Mayor of London securing an unprecedented extra £8.3m
from the Olympic Delivery Authority to enable the bus companies and
Unite to resolve their dispute, the union leadership has proved to be
determined to try to disrupt Londoners."

IMO this page, which is supposed to help us find our way around the
city, is not the place for this sort of editorialising, as frustrating
as the strike is to passengers and to TfL.

Richard.
